Question FC10 Logitech quickcam

Hi, all
I have read many threads about this and i haven't got solutions so i started my own.

First of all i was using FC7 and qc-usb and everything was fine.

I updated my system and now the qc-usb is not compiling giving me error.
Well i found out that my cam is kinda working i have installed CamStream it able to open it and it works.

But all the other applications crash including Skype and Camorama Web View

I have ran camtest from the qc-usb and it looks like it's working too, i get the raw data ...
So i'm kinda stuck right now!

Please help out.
Cam id Bus 003 Device 004: ID 046d:08d9 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam IM/Connect

Thx

Thank you for reply.

I have tried that and it didn't fix the problem.
The cam works in Cheese as well.

Now in skype i can see green lines. and it will crash in couple of seconds .... no luck((((
Any ideas?
maybe i need to load the right driver? (i don't know how modprobe maybe?)
I used V4l2 tools to check the cam and it sais that current driver is zc3xx
And it has option to recommend driver and it recommends : gspca
http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Investigation/Gspca/
But it fails to compile just like qc-usb.....

any ideas?

I looked at http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=206273

And i got a fix LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so [program to load]

so it was the problem with the driver ...

Where do i need to make change so i don't have to start program with this command?
