Problem Installing v4l4j on Ubuntu 11

[topriddy]

I am having problems installing v4l4j on Ubuntu 11. I have tried the
two available options as specified on the Wiki Page:
http://code.google.com/p/v4l4j/wiki/DebianInstall

For the first option,
I keep getting an error when I run sudo apt-get update as shown below:
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gillesg/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/mail/source/Sources
404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gillesg/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/mail/binary-amd64/Packages
404 Not Found

E: W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gillesg/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/mail/binary-i386/Packages
404 Not Found

E: some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.

Due to the above, ^^, I am unable to run a: sudo apt-get install
libv4l4j-java, successfully.

I tried the manual installation and i also met challenges as I ended
up in a dependency management circle. :(

Please, I would be glad to get help that would allow integrate v4l4j
to my java app and camera asap as I am in process of porting my app
from windows to the linux platform in a bid to promote usage of linux
os.

Regards.

Hi,
Sorry to hear about the issues you're having with v4l4j on Ubuntu Oneiric.
I havent had much time lately to create packages for the newer distros
(the last pkgs I created are for the current LTS: lucid), which is why
you cant use apt-get on Oneiric... My bad ! As I am on holidays now, I
wont be able to create new packages until a few weeks time,but I ll
get on to it as soon as I am back. In the mean time, I can help you
install v4l4j from source if you can tell me more about the dependency
problem you encountered.

Thanks,
Gilles

I have installed v4l4j in oneiric without problems. Just download the debs packages and install them from the terminal. Then copy libv4l4j.so to /usr/lib and do sudo ldconfig. Then copy v4l4j.jar to java_home/jre/lib/ext. I had to reebot before doing these steps and all works fine.
