Trouble Installing Webcam Drivers on Ubuntu 11.04
I've been trying to install all the drivers for my laptop that I recently installed Ubuntu on and I've been having trouble installing the driver for my webcam. I followed the instructions on Ubuntu Documentation > Community Documentation > Ov51x (sorry but I can't post links) but I'm having trouble with preparing the installation files with the "make" command. This is the message I keep getting:
(See attached picture)
Also, as an aside, I often get the message when I'm trying to install a package that it is "Unable to locate pack ______". Does anyone have any ideas on that? Thanks!
