it installed wonderfully on my eeepc901 and pd says gem 0.92.1 from oct 30, but: when trying out pix_video it starts with video driver 0: video4linux v4l
now, when i send a message "driver v4l2" console gives: could not find a backend for driver "v4l2"
the webcam is otherwise working fine (tested with cheese)
anyone got an idea?
simple: the version of Gem you are using has been compiled without libv4l support. whoever built the package has either not enabled libv4l-support (there is a new flag in Gem's configure called --without-ALL which disables everything so you have to manually re-enable whatever you want; this is meant for package-maintainers so they have better control about what features the package will have) or there was no libv4l-dev installed on the build machine.
solutions:
installed (in your case, don't forget libv4l-dev)
