Installing webcam CentOS 4.5

Post by joaoluizmf » 2014/04/24 13:11:27

Hi,
I'm trying to create this topic at CentOS 4.5 section, but I can't.

I'm trying to install a logitech webcam on a CentOS 4.5, using this article:

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/H ... ce_Drivers

And this: http://doc.fedoraonline.it/Immagine_webcam_al_rovescio

But an error appear to me (when I do a make install):

******************

* Compilation finished. Use 'make install' to install them

CentOS 4 has been End Of Life for over 2 years and is not supported. You have more than 2 years worth of security updates missing and you should look to migrating to a supported release ASAP. I would recommend using CentOS 6 since CentOS 5 has had its last major update and is now in the RH "Production phase 3" - i.e. security updates only - part of its lifetime.

In addition you appear to be running a kernel 2.6.34 which is a non-CentOS 4 kernel - the standard CentOS 4 kernels are all 2.6.9-x.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Apparently not.
There are no updates for version 4.

Are you really sure you are running CentOS 4? There was no firefox in existence when el4 was current.
