[ros-users] Videre STOC Problem

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?
