Hi there,

Just built 1.24.2 from source using the Ubuntu howto in the wiki. Got the website up and running but getting the following error.

I'm using a USB webcam which works in camorama.

Any ideas what this actually means?

07/14/09 21:21:59.043682 zmdc[9703].INF [Starting pending process, zmc -d /dev/video0]
07/14/09 21:21:59.045727 zmdc[9703].INF ['zmc -d /dev/video0' starting at 09/07/14 21:21:59, pid = 9755]
07/14/09 21:21:59.223934 zmdc[9703].ERR ['zmc -d /dev/video0' exited abnormally, exit status 6]

I actually installed ZM from a package in debian. I've tried two cameras now which both works fine under an older version of ZM. I had an older box with ubuntu 7.10 on it and ZM installed from package there as well, and both cams were easily detected and set up. I have now tried many different settings and options using version 1.24 and Debian Lenny, but the logs just keep showing the same error DervMan posted. I have no idea where to go with this error, if anyone knows what this may be a symptom of or how to solve it, that would be a huge help.
