Hi, i got the same problem when i install on Ubuntu 12.10. For me the solution 
was to copy the "libwebcamstudio.so" file from a machine where i successfully 
installed WCS Before.
Simply install the WCS Beta4 .deb package, and then copy the attached file 
(libwebcamstudio.so.1.0.1) in your /usr/lib/ directory.
Hope This helps.

Hi,
 i forgot to mention that I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 32bit ...
Have you try the 0.56 version?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/webcamstudio/files/WebcamStudio4Linux/0.56/webca
mstudio_0.56_all.deb/download

If that version works for you, maybe you can grab the lib of 0.56 when 
installed, uninstall it, install the 0.57 and copy the 0.56 lib grabbed in 
/usr/lib.
I don't know if that works.
Good luck ;)

Using the file that was attached earlier works for 32-bit if I am reading this 
right.  I'm running 64 bit and still having no luck.  If anyone gets this 
solved for 64 bit linux, please share how you did it.

Thanks!

Hi,
 another solution to run WCS 0.57 on Ubuntu 12.10 is provided By Patrick Balleux itself:
<< ... Just installed WS4GL 0.57 Beta 4 in Ubuntu 12.10...  Some dependencies 
were missing and the library compiler needed a small tweak.

Look in /etc/init.d/webcamstudio for the gcc parameter -WL, remove that 
parameter and the library will compile after that ... >>
Didn't try on 64bit systems.
Hope this Helps.

The development has proceeded to 0.60+ versions. At the moment the deb packages 
in our Daily builds PPA, should work with no problems on Ubuntu...
Please try and give us feedback?

I had this issue too. I'm running Linux Mint 14 x64 and tested with 
0.64-352~201304132349~quantal1 from the daily PPA. I haven't been fiddling with 
it for more than an hour though, but so far everything seems to be working just 
fine.

Thank you for your effort!  I too can report that the latest daily build is

Take care,

I did it like this on Mint 14 x64:
after insatlling the .deb file go to "cd 
/usr/share/webcamstudio/webcamstudio-src"
I edited "sudo nano comp.sh" and removed the -Wl flag from 2nd line.
After this, run "sudo ./comp.sh" and here you go.
