Why not just install the binaries?

sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-usb-cam

Why not just install the binaries?

sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-usb-cam

UPDATE: that package is not yet in the main repository, I found it in shadow-fixed. It should be released soon.

To get it right now, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list to ros-shadow-fixed, like this:

deb http://packages.ros.org/ros-shadow-fixed/ubuntu precise main

UPDATE2: as @ZoltanS discovered, that shadow-fixed package is not installing the usb_cam_node (or much of anything else). Apparently, it is being converted to catkin, but the conversion is not yet complete.

If you want to build from source, the Fuerte version (0.4.2) is still using rosbuild. Building that on Groovy with rosmake will probably work.

This driver is not yet released to Groovy, but I will notify the maintainer anyway, to make sure he knows about this problem.
