Alright guys, does anyone know how to get a USB webcam working with skype on a mac?

the webcam is the logitech quickcam for notebooks deluxe, the mac is a g4 ibook with os x 10.4.8

according to this site all you need to do is download macam from

http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/

but thats not true and macam isn't helping. anyone know how to get it to work?

Snrf.

its my girlfriends, she lives in the US so I talk to her on Skype, an Isight was like 200 bucks or something retarded so when I saw that Macam would run a normal usb webcam on a mac I thought I was quids in, but i'm not.....

Anyway, I'm hoping carlos knows...I think he's the resident mac guru

I had this with my desktop G4, I never did get it working. screw that stupid computer and its turbo tiny keyboard. my beefy muscle fingers push like 4 keys at once. lol

but ya, I never did figure it out. now I dont have that system anymore so problem solved
