Webcam on xfce?
Hey guys. I'm about as new to Linux as you can get, so bear with me please.

I installed Xubuntu on my old laptop to tinker with.. figured it would be a good use of an old machine. One thing I'd like to set up is some security with a webcam. Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 to be exact. I went about trying to get wxCam set up and run into some problems. I unpacked the tar.gz and cd-ed to the new directory. Typed "./configure; make" like instructed here and got this in return:

Quote:
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
It looks like to me either the compiler that came with xfce is crap or I need to install one. Please make any helpful instructions as idiot proof as possible. Thanks in advance. Smilie

I don't recall clicking on the thumbs down icon... ignore that please. Smilie

I removed the icon. And by the way, when a new user posts a thread with a link, it goes to the moderation queue. This is to avoid spam. I approved the thread making it visible. Just in case you were wondering.

I don't know why you got that gcc problem though. If config.log had any info, post it.

Ah, thank you. Well, here's the whole thing. I guess you'll delete it if you feel it's spam, but I don't really know what to look for. Sorry for the length.

The problem seems to be:
/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory

But I have no idea why crt1.o is missing or what to tell to do to obtain it.

Looks like you need libc6-dev-i386.

I think on Ubuntu that means:

$ sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386.
