It seraches for the kernel source in /lib/modules......
I install the kernel source it is in /usr/src
so when I ran gspca_build, it didn't find my source!!!??
Is it an error on the file gspca_build ?
must I add something or config to my source ??
thanks for hel

Your kernel should be in /usr/src and link the source to linux.
Run make menuconfig/make oldconfig in that directory.
Then try again.
Justin.

This is nonsense, the kernel sources can be anywhere and this symlink is
not necessary. What is needed is a symlink in /lib/modules/`uname -r`:
if [ ! -d $SRCDIR/include/linux ]; then
echo -e 'E[31;44m'
echo -e 'E[1m FATAL you need to install the Kernel Source for your
running kernelE[0m'
exit 1
fi

so when I ran gspca_build, it didn't find my source!!!??

Your kernel should be in /usr/src and link the source to linux.
Of course the kernel sources must match the running kernel.

Most out-of-tree driver code however expects /usr/src/linux,
/usr/src/linux-2.4 to point to the kernel source.

Really? I dare say that any such drivers are horribly broken. The
default location for the kernel source has been
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build for quite some time.

aptitude install gspca-modules-`uname -r`
Alternatively,
aptitude install module-assistant

Note that you need it here, but:
aptitude install-headers-`uname -r`

Nope. This is old information.
Debian has a package with the appropriate headers. It should match the
running kernel, this assumes you are running a Debian kernel. The
package name varies with architecture; mine is linux-headers-2.6-amd64.
The actual source, Debian or not, can go nearly anywhere. What is
needed is for a kernel module compile to be able to find the *dev*
headers.
Generically, you need a link in the lib/modules hierarchy to point to
the dev headers.
You can put the source in /usr/linux if you are careful, but *DO NOT*
make that link of which you speak. The linux link, if there, should be
left alone. If not there, don't add it.
Read the *current* kernel docs.

I said that wrong. I misspoke. The "dev" headers are what the name
implies. Used for compiling application software.
The kernel headers have *about* the same ABI, but they are what you need
to compile a kernel module with.
So, yes, Virginia, there is a difference.
I said the compile a module against the dev headers, but that is *wrong*.
As Sven said:
# ln -sf /path/to/linux-x.y.z /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
Of course the kernel sources must match the running kernel.
