Hi guys,
I normally stick to the forums but I've come here because I fear this is going to be a little too in depth. (I shall post the answer to the forum afterwards however).
I know the GEM developers have discussed this over here: http://www.mail-archive.com/gem-dev@iem.at/msg00098.html
But I'm not a GEM developer! :)
My issue is, [pix_video] won't see my camera under any conditions (in GNU/Linux), whilst mplayer tv:// in the terminal or the Cheese Webcam Booth are both very happy to. I simply don't know where to begin. But really really desire this feature (it's one of the main reasons i bought the eeepc 701)
Running eeebuntu lxde beta 1 (a cut down ubuntu/debian)
Is this a common problem? Are there some standard procedures to fixing this? like reinstalling certain packages? e.t.c.
There's no rush here, but I'm sure it's a somewhat popular issue since the eeepc must be a popular medium for Pure Data
Thanks very much everyone.
could you give more details of your setup? what gem version are you using? what kind of camera, driver, etc...

hello, eeepc cam is a V4L2 device. i think there is no (yet) officiel Gem release with V4L2 suport. you can check this when creating a pix_video object : it should print V4L and V4L2...
current development version works fine. so you should use the svn to download Gem latest source code, and compile it yourself.
you can also ask Iohannes to make release more often ;-)

Amazing response both in time and effectiveness. I thank you all greatly.
three annoying newbie questions however:
Is this the package I need to get? http://sourceforge.net/projects/pd-gem/
Do I need to uninstall GEM first or do anything to Pd before or after to recognise (insmod style) and work with the new GEM
Do I follow the standard compiling route i.e.
./configre make make install
(I have only ever patched my kernel once. that is as far my linux technical proficiency goes)
Many many thanks for the time out you have spent on me.

no, you should not get a package, but the source code : https://sourceforge.net/projects/pd-gem/develop
somthing like : svn co https://pd-gem.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pd-gem/trunk/Gem Gem/ should grab everything you need.
then, you'll have to read the README.linux in src folder basically, you'll have to : autoconf ./configure sudo apt-get install whaterver missing ./configure make sudo make install

I suppose your version of GEM doesn't support cameras with video2linux2 support.
One quick thing to try would be to "aptitude install libv4l" and then preload the compatibility library for V4L1 apps by doing:
$ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/vl1compat.so $ pd -lib Gem
Otherwise try to get a Gem that supports v4l2, for example by recompiling it after installing libv4l-dev, too.
Ciao
