The standalone gspca code is old and deprecated. It's now maintained as 
part of the Video4Linux v4l-dvb tree here:

Elrepo.org has a version built for el5 that supports many gspca based 
devices:

The most recent version, compiled from a 2010-04-10 snapshot, is in the 
testing repo here:

if you are looking for newer drivers.
