My system has gphoto2-2.1.4-7 installed (I think this a system package), but when I look for EZ200 support (using 'gphoto2 --list-cameras'), the EZ200 is not listed. I also did an 'rpm -ql gphoto2' and noticed that there is no "shared object file" (libgphoto2_kodak_*.so) for the EZ200. Is it that the EZ200 is only supported in a "newer" version of gphoto2? Is it alright for me to install a newer version? I noticed that the gphoto2 website (http://www.gphoto.org/) has a tarball (version 2.1.99) that includes a spec file which I can certainly use to build an rpm. (Mind you, I just don't want to "break" my system or anything like that, although I would really like to get some use out of this webcam). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

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/gpho.... 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!
