[nzlug] source package ubuntu - wtf?

[Steve Holdoway]

Well, you're supposed to then be able to use the module-assistant that downloaded with it to build and install the module...

   (sudo) module-assistant a-i ov51x-jpeg

However, the compile seems to fail on my 2.6.24 kernel - undfined symbol. If this happens to you, then a fixed version is available...

   (sudo) wget http://jameswestby.net/scratch/ov51x-jpeg-source_1.5.4-1ubuntu1_all.deb
   (sudo) dpkg -i ov51x-jpeg-source_1.5.4-1ubuntu1_all.deb
   (sudo) module-assistant a-i ov51x-jpeg

hth,

Steve
