The package lib32v4l exists only for 64bit OS and not 32bit (http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libs/lib32v4l-0) If you are using 32bit, then the packages might not be in /usr/lib32/..., but just /usr/lib/libv4l Try doing a locate v4l1compat.so

Hi,

I am unable to find this lib32v4l package. I have Karmic Koala installed.
I have fixed the audio problem but video is still a problem for me.

Please suggest if you have any idea.

Hi,
Thanks for this info, my el-cheapo webcam is now working.

one point I get this error message;
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module “canberra-gtk-module”: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

does not seem to make a difference, but might confuse / worry some people.

Thanks again
