[ros-users] Videre STOC Problem

[Patrick Goebel]

It occurred to me that I have an old digital video camera that uses 
Firewire.  So I installed kino, plugged in the camera to the same 
Firewire port I've been using with the STOC camera and presto, I am able 
to control the camera and capture some video.

So I'm wondering if my problem is not having the Videre driver installed 
correctly.  In fact, I'm not even sure what installing the driver might 
mean beyond what I did in the beginning which was:  I unpacked the 
original SVS tgz file into /home/patrick/bin/svs.  Then:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/patrick/bin/svs/bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ cd /usr/lib
$ sudo ln -s libraw1394.so.11.0.1 libraw1394.so.8
$ sudo ldconfig

Is there something else I need to do to make sure the STOC driver is 
being accessed?
