emerge =media-video/gspcav1-20071224 fails when it is run against a 2.6.27 kernel. I know, that "gspca" drivers are now built into 2.6.27, but my "Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX plus" does not work with these gspca drivers. It works perfetly with the gspcav1 driver.

Why don't you report to upstream http://bugzilla.kernel.org/ that your camera no longer works ? (yes, I have the same problem and I will report it when I have time)
After installing libv4l and following elog information it works ok :-)

Therefore, what is the recommended path to upgrade from version 1 to 2 of gspcav?
(In reply to comment #9) > Therefore, what is the recommended path to upgrade from version 1 to 2 of > gspcav? > You have to build the modules when you build your new kernel, with make menuconfig, you have to go to: Device Drivers ---> Multimedia devices ---> Video capture adapters ---> V4L USB devices ---> GSPCA based webcams ---> and enable proper modules (you can build all of them or try to find proper one looking for idVendor and idProduct from lsusb -v output and using grep in kernel sources for finding it)
Because gspcav1 does not compile on my machine too (amd64, gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r1), I built the kernel gspcav module as Pacho suggests here. Then my cam worked with "mplayer tv://", but not with skype (skype crashed when I started the video). I think this is related to the fact that skype uses v4l1, so I followed the advice here: http://forum.sabayonlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=15650 and installed libv4l from the ebuild from here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244918 with the multilib flag on. Now I can preload the 32-bit version of libv4l when starting skype and everything works again. However, I am aware that this cannot be a permanent solution, because the "official" ebuilds of libv4l do not have a multilib flag at the least. So how does it look like - will gspcav1 be fixed to compile with newer kernels, or will "multilib" be added to the "official" libv4l ebuilds, or will a miracle happen to keep my cam working with skype? :-)
I know that current situation is clearly suboptimal, but: 1- gspcav1 won't be fixed for building on kernel 2.6.28 because it's old, upstream seems to no longer support it and it starts to be hard to maintain, while gspcav2 is currently actively maintained by its upstream and should work ok and replace gspcav1 completely 2- In current situation, I think that will be difficult that libv4l multilib ebuild would hit the tree, at least until bug 145737 (that I don't know when could be fixed): http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252220#c4 Then, we should wait until bug 244918 get fixed Sorry for the inconvenience
