[UNSOLVED]Error Installing Webcam Driver

I recently reinstalled Arch after I took some person's advice here to use yaourt -Syuf if my packages have errors and can't install, which messed everything up. I am now trying to install the driver for my Eyetoy webcam and it comes up with this.

[sko@OGC ~]$ yaourt -S ov51x-jpeg

Re: [UNSOLVED]Error Installing Webcam Driver

what version of the kernel do you have?
try running depmod -a before syncing

Re: [UNSOLVED]Error Installing Webcam Driver

I did run depmod -a.

Also, I found it odd that the headers are a different version from my kernel. Is that normal?

3 core/kernel-headers 2.6.26.3-1 [installed] (base)
     Kernel headers sanitized for use in userspace
4 core/kernel26 2.6.27.1-1 [installed] (base)
     The Linux Kernel and modules

They appear to be the latest ones,..

Re: [UNSOLVED]Error Installing Webcam Driver

The kernel-headers package is fine. You're problem is in this line in the PKGBUILD:

_kernver=2.6.26-ARCH

change that to:

_kernver=$(uname -r)

and see if that helps.

I don't think it matters, but your system isn't up to date.

That works! Thanks a ton!

And yeah, I couldn't update it for a while because of the klibc error, but I fixed that.

Thanks again!

Re: [UNSOLVED]Error Installing Webcam Driver

Scratch that, it STILL doesn't work. I installed the drivers okay, modprobe'd ov51x-jpeg and it still does not work...

It worked before when I did the same thing before, I think...
