Reach spca5xx-20041224 #
    It seems that it cannot find my kernel version, but:
    Code:
    Reach spca5xx-20041224 # uname -r
2.6.14-gentoo-r4
[/code
[code]]Reach spca5xx-20041224 # ls -l /usr/src
total 12
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   22 Dec  8 20:35 linux -> linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r4
[/code]

Any help would be appreciated.

    i tried this with another download of the same file, but it returned the same.
    should i try to roll back my kernel?

    i also tried to do it manually....
    Code:
    Reach spca5xx-20041224 # ls    
CHANGELOG  INSTALL  Makefile  README  cutlog.py  cvs  drivers  sensorDetect.txt
Reach spca5xx-20041224 # make
