The author actually updates the version every month.

I am trying this under 107a

* First I tried with the java 1.0.5 prepared by G2
Nope for some reason was unsuccessful

* So I tried with their own stable java (had this before with java progs - there own one is more stable as they say

* Signed up with Mic. . . Micr . . . "The Company that must not be named" "VoldeSoft" (I think it is)

* Got a basic Mercury working OK

* downloaded and unzipped the spca5xx.o

* Now seem to be stuck with this - time for some seaweed tea and maybe I will try again

Ok. This is almost working!!

Alright I installed the mercury messenger without java as I already
have java installed and mercury works. Instead of installing
mercury to /root/ I installed to /opt/

So my question is where do I extract or put the files mentioned below?
Extract NativeLibs-linux.zip to /root/Mercury/jre/lib/i386

Great! At least it's working for some else than me!

You just need to focus your camera.

Err, that is what screwed me once as well.
Rarsa must have had the same problem we all have sometimes.
We end up misspelling.

So here

# cp /mnt/mydata/spca5xx.o /lib/modules/2.4.29/usb/spca5xx.o
# depmod -ae
# modprobe videodev
# modprobe spca5xx

Now if you want this to load everytime you boot
add these lines to rc.local

depmod -ae
modprobe videodev
modprobe spca5xx

thanks, that helped. Now the JMF files, I'm getting the same problem with the NativeLinux...zip file not wanting to unzip.

hi klhr

I think you might have been referring to me and my very simple script, in which case here it goes -

[code]cp /root/spca5xx.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/usb/spca5xx.o
depmod -ae
modprobe videodev
modprobe spca5xx[/code]

hope it helps

cheers G

lol yes, depmod instead of depmode. I was copying and pasting commands.

As far as I remember you had to download the NativeLinux-libs using bittorrent. (or ctorrent). When you do that, the file appears to be complete while it is still downloading. You may need to continue the download until it's complete.
