Help: Can't install dv2vloopback on Ubuntu 8.10

[NewHorizon]

I posted this question on the official Ubuntu forums, but haven't gotten any feedback.

Please forgive my ignorance in these matters.

I'm trying to install dv2vloopback so I can use my camcorder as a webcam, but the last version of dv2vloopback will not install. When I run 'make' in the terminal, I get...

gcc -o dv2vloopback dv2vloopback.c -Wall -O3 --fast-math -lgd
dv2vloopback.c: In function ‘next_frame’:
dv2vloopback.c:104: warning: ignoring return value of ‘system’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
dv2vloopback.c: In function ‘trapper’:
dv2vloopback.c:139: warning: ignoring return value of ‘system’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
dv2vloopback.c:141: warning: ignoring return value of ‘system’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
dv2vloopback.c: In function ‘main’:
dv2vloopback.c:176: warning: ignoring return value of ‘system’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
strip dv2vloopback

I have no idea what any of that means, or how to fix it. This is the equivalent of trying to read Chinese to me.

Getting this program running is the last step in getting my camera running. Would appreciate any help.

these are compilation warnings, not errors, if this is all that was output then the application should have been correctly compiled

Ahh, ok. Thanks so much for that insight. I think there were also some errors when I ran the make install command, but I'll have to check that out again. I just thought this would be the first place to check.
