are you using the Pd-extended builds or did you build Gem yourself?
afaik, Pd-extended does not link against libv4l, thus you do not enjoy it's pleasures. simply do % ldd Gem.pd_linux | grep -i v4l

I could not find libv4l in the ubuntu repos but have libv4l-0 installed.
this is the same. it is just a naming issue, which you will find often in Debian/Ubuntu, supposedly to get around the issue of API-changes (and being able to install several different API-versions of a single library at the same time)
if you compile Gem yourself, you will also want to install the development-headers of libv4l (libv4l-dev) before running configure.
finally: afaik, you can force an application built without libv4l to use it by employing some pre-linker magic. ("LD_PRELOAD_LIB=/usr/lib/libv4l.so pd -lib Gem" or the like) - please see the README.txt that comes with libv4l for instructions.
