Hi Jack,

   I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on the robot, and ROS 1.1.8.  I did
have to make sure libusb1.0 was installed.  And I had to make sure I
added udev rules that allowed the camera to be accessible (see
attached).  The "SYSFS" parms are the vendor and camera IDs, IIRC.
Getting the camera working has certainly gotten easier as I have moved
to newer Ubuntu releases.

regards,
