beyond and webcam's (gspcav1)

hi ppl?
I've tried to get my webcam to work with the beyond kernel. installing gspcav1 didn't work, but well - i guess that's to be expected. but i also can't compile the package from it's website... it gives an error of not finding config.h:

make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build SUBDIRS=/home/tijdelijk/gspcav1-20060925 CC=cc modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.19-beyond'
  CC [M]  /home/tijdelijk/gspcav1-20060925/gspca_core.o

Re: beyond and webcam's (gspcav1)

thanx, this works!!! annoyingly, the webcam still doesn't work. isn't gspcav1 the successor to spca5xx??? it did work with spca5xx... or do i have to install spca5xx? i can't get it to install. error was:
/home/tijdelijk/abs/spca5xx-beyond/src/spca5xx-20060501/drivers/usb/spca5xx.c:39:26: error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory

so i tried to rebuild the sed -i /linux.config.h/d gspca_core.c  line from your pkgbuild, into
      sed -i /linux.config.h/d  $startdir/src/spca5xx-20060501/drivers/usb/spca5xx.c

but i still get the error...
what am i doing wrong?

again, btw, tnx for the help...
