I found a solution: I found a source rpm for Fedora 3 which has support
for this camera at
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/SRPMS/gphoto2-2.1.5-1.1.src.rpm.
I downloaded and rebuilt this rpm successfully so I think I will be
using this rpm. If my logic is correct, this update will make it to
CentOS 4 in the future since it is a Fedora 3 update but I'll install it
now and think that it should work perfectly fine. I understand why no
one would suggest anything as it seems the solution might be a little
complicated. Thanks anyway though!
Sincerely
