Sorry, I wasn't very clear on that. No, I'm not dual booting. I had it
working in the past on Debian with the qc-usb version 0.6.4 (current v.
is 0.6.6).

Right, I got it (camstream) to work earlier this year with Debian Etch
but since switching to Gentoo (~x86 no less) it's been a no-go.

I'm just trying to determine where to file the bug report, with the
qc-usb maintainer or gentoo.

The version(s) of v4l/v4l2 currently installed are:

x11-drivers/xf86-video-v4l-0.1.1
media-plugins/gst-plugins-v4l-0.10.14
media-plugins/gst-plugins-v4l2-0.10.6

Camstream version:

media-video/camstream-20070315

and the version of camorama that refuses to build:

media-video/camorama-0.18

System info via "emerge --info" is:

Portage 2.1.3.9 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.1,
glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.22-gentoo-r7 i686)
