    problems installing wxcam in karmic

    So yeah, the title pretty much says it, I can't install wxcam on karmic.
    The package installer gives me the following error:

    Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libmjpegtools0c2a (>= 1:1.8.0)

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Sorry for the late reply! I was stumbling upon these forums looking to find out what the problem was. I did, however, find a working version that will install on 9.10. Here is the direct link to the download: http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/getdeb/ubu...tdeb1_i386.deb

    the video is smooth and gorgeous compared to Cheese.... but no audio. at System>Sound>Input it's set to "0804 Analog Mono" which I believe is the webcam (Logitech Webcam C250, formerly worked in both Cheese and Skype just find)

    Re: problems installing wxcam in karmic

    its odd but look at the colors green on left red on the right
    1.0.2 works right on 804
    im on 910 on this computer
    and an going nuts trying to fix red green not green red
    if you turn the cam pic color comes up right but pic is wrong
    btw i can adjust the settings in cheese
    but not in wxcam
    best i can say is rgb is backwards in wxcam 104
    and the fps is slow only 5 at best

    I am having a problem with installation of wxcam, but in Natty Warhal. I receive the following error when running the make command:

    Hi Daymond. Can you try one of the deb files @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxcam/files/wxcam/?
