I have upgraded from fc5 to fc6 today and now i can not compile the driver for the dexxa webcam. I got it from sourceforge (qc-usb-0.6.4).
After symlinking autoconf.h to config.h to get over the missing config.h error, i get the following: make -C "/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build" SUBDIRS="/tmpa/qc-usb-0.6.4" modules V=1 USER_OPT=""

You need the patch for kernel 2.6.18: http://darcs.frugalware.org/repos/frugalware-current/source/multimedia-extra...
And then remove the #include <config.h> lines (with no replacement, the replacement headers are included automatically) in qc-memory.c and quickcam.h.
I also have an SRPM you can use: http://www.tigen.org/kevin.kofler/pcprogs/kernel-module-qc-usb-0.6.4-3.src.r... (Yes, it's _still_ on the "old" kernel module packaging standard. Shame on me. ;-) )

Thank you very much Kevin Kofler, you patch works ok!
Again, thank you

I'm finding that my glibc is borked. Not even sure how to fix it without blowing everything to Hell and gone. No wonder I'm not making the blooming modules correctly. Ric
