I've got past this point and compiled pwlib successfully by adding 
#include <linux/types.h> in linux/videodev2.h . But, still its the same. 
I don't see any debug statements when I execute 'gnomemeeting -d 4' nor 
video from my card. Is there anything else I'm missing here????

Or is there any video capture card, which works with gnomemeeting that I 
can go buy from a store right away.

Thanks
