<snip> Ok, so I got the src rpm from el repo. Lessee, first I tried rpmbuild, and that failed, because it *required* xen-devel. So I grabbed the tarfile from /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, unbzip2'd it, untar'd it, and did a make. And ten or so later, I had 265 kernel modules. I don't want or need to install all of that, so I tried just building gspca, and that failed with unresolved errors.

Use that command to build it. You should get the above then trash xen, pae and debug. That builds and works on a pure kernel-rt install. Allthough there things said left to do get it built the right way but it is usable.
Um, what's kernel-rt got to do with anything I said? And actually, the first server I'm trying to build this on is a Sunfire, but it's running Opterons, and the o/s is 64-bit. I also do *not* have any xen installed.
Fine, I tried running rpmbuild -ba --target=x86_64 --without xen video4linux-kmod.spec Building target platforms: x86_64 Building for target x86_64 error: Failed build dependencies: kernel-xen-devel-x86_64 = 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 is needed by video4linux-kmod-0.0-5.20090615.el5.elrepo.x86_64
My last trick was to edit the stupid spec file, and comment out #%ifarch i686 x86_64 #%define xenvar xen #%endif and it *still* wants to build for xen.
No, the rpmbuild is not correct. So, back to the original, of trying to figure out just what kernel modules I need to install, rather than the laundry list it correctly builds when I drop the rpm, and build from the blown-out tarfile.

lib/modules/2.6.24.7-149.el5rt/extra/video4linux/ has several gspca modules so your better off installing all to get the correct one.
