Hi,
I have a webcam Logitech Chat. This camera is working fine with camorama
and working fine with Ubuntu Dapper LTS 6.06, but in my production
distro: Gentoo the camera is not working. I downloaded V4L and V4L2 but
nothing happen. When I open  Preferences -> video devices -> Video
Plugin is set to Pictures and I can not modified this when click on
Detect devices button. When I worked with Ubuntu video plugin is set to
v4l but I do not know how to fix this in Gentoo. I am migrating to
Ubuntu but awhile I need to use Gentoo because all my data is there.
Thanks in advance
I appreciate some help
    

That means that the plugins are not correctly installed. Check that they
appear in /usr/lib/pwlib (some subdirectory)

You can also try strace ekiga to see if they are correctly loaded.

Thanks for answering,

I checked the directory /usr/lib/pbwlib and the system has /usr/lib/pbwlib/devices/sound. Directory "sound" has two plugins (alsa_pwplugin.so and oss_pwplugin.so). System does not have nothing about "video" or "v4l". I will check this directory in my Ubuntu system to match with Gentoo.
Maybe you know but Gentoo OS installed v4l and v4l2 from "portage" and I suposse that "portage" installed it in a good way.
If you have any idea what is wrong let me know,
