A total newbie looking to install gphoto

[niallfitz]

Hi folks,

I'm sorry if this has been covered, I did search.

How do I install gphoto on the Raspbian OS? I followed the instructions at http://www.yannock.be/computer/compilin ... comment-93 but hit a dead end at the first hurdle with 3 errors:

"Unable to locate package svn"
"unable to locate package checkout"
"Unable to locate package https"

I am logged into the graphical interface (startx) as root.
Is the step I am trying the actual first step or should I have downloaded gphoto from the website first?

Regards,
Niall.

Unless you are desperate for the cutting edge it's best to use the version in the repositories.

sudo apt-cache search gphoto

shows a package gphoto2

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gphoto2

will install the package.

thanks Joan, so maybe go for 2.5.2 instead if the brand new 2.5.3?
