This guide will help you get your quickcam working on Linux RedHat 8.0
in no time. No Jedi skills required ;-)

Unfortunately, you will not be able to compile the drivers with the
kernel sources shipped with RedHat. First, go to http://www.rpmfind.net/
and look for kernel and kernel-source

Download kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0.i386.rpm and
kernel-source-2.4.18-18.8.0.i386.rpm or just try these links:

ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/updates/8.0/en/os/i386/kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/updates/8.0/en/os/i386/kernel-source-2.4.18-18.8.0.i386.rpm

As root do this:

# rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0.i386.rpm
# rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.4.18-18.8.0.i386.rpm

Now reboot your computer and make sure you select the new kernel at boot
time. Hopefully you will not notice any difference. If anything goes
wrong you can still boot your original kernel.

Now go to http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net and download Nikolas' latest
driver (qce-ga-0.40c.tar.gz by the time I wrote this)

# tar -zxf qce-ga-0.40c.tar.gz
# cd qce-ga-0.40c
# gedit makefile

replace the line LINUX_DIR = /usr/src/linux with 
LINUX_DIR = /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.8.0

# make
(you'll see a bunch of data rolling, hopefully ending without any
errors)
# su
# ./quickcam.sh
(bunch of data rolling again)

and Presto! Just launch your gnomemeeting and have fun!

Enjoy,
