gspca help please

[Anonymity]

Im kind of new to linux and im trying to get my webcam to work. I have already installed
sudo aptitude install gspca-source camorama and its in usr/src


this is where I need help. The website I found says to unpack and change directory to usr/src/modules/gspca then execute "make" but I unpacked it into home/modules/webcam/gspca

so how do I type it into the terminal to do the next part? iv tried all the commands I can think off and it keeps saying no such file or directory.

Use the change directory command to change to where you have the source eg

cd /home/$USER/modules/webcam/gspca
then run

make
Can you provide a link to the instructions you are following?

Installing the source

sudo aptitude install gspca-source

Changing to /usr/src directory

cd /usr/src

Upacking or Extracintg the package ( I am not sure of the package name . You can check the same in the directory -/usr/src )

sudo tar -jxvf gspca.tar.bz2

Change from currecnt directory to /usr/src/modules/gspca

cd /usr/src/modules/gspca/

The steps below for compiling it from the source.

make

sudo make install

Rest I am unsure !.Although its updated in the blog post there.

There is no semaphore.h anywhere within /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-15-generic or its subdirectories.
