have you tried using more conservative CFLAGS ? (rule 1 of gentoo bugreporting)

afaic this pack can be removed, it's herdless and seems undermaintained.

wonder how that metadata came into being there, chris ? It seems pointless to add it as it is.

[Comment 2 Chris White (RETIRED) 2004-11-21 09:20:47 UTC]

Well, I'd like to try and see if I can get my webcam running again so as to debug this issue.  If not, I'm all for removing it.  As for the metadata, not quite sure what I was on when I added it, it was meant to say "media-video"...

[Comment 3 Chris White (RETIRED) 2004-11-25 13:54:18 UTC]

Can you try the latest 0.17 and let us know if it works?  Thanks!

[Comment 4 Jan Brinkmann (RETIRED) 2005-01-28 07:18:54 UTC]

hmm, what about this one?

[Comment 5 Jan Brinkmann (RETIRED) 2005-04-13 13:38:21 UTC]

feel free to reopen if that problem persists
