Hi...

Did you ever get Webcam Studio working on Ubuntu 12.04? I'm running Xubuntu 12.04 but I'm getting the same error as you. I followed some of the instructions on http://code.google.com/p/webcamstudi...s/detail?id=75 which I noticed you posted to as well, but installing the patch did no good to me. Also your post there mentioned a webcamstudio.rej file, but where is this at?

Thanks for any insight...

have you tried compiling from svn as it shows here?
