Don't know if you rebooted or not, but you might try running ldconfig, and 
then

ldd /usr/local/bin/gphoto2

and see what you get. The ldd command is supposed to display all library 
dependencies of an executable, and to tell if those libraries are found or 
not. The ldconfig is supposed to re-link the latest versions of all 
libraries, updating its list of what is latest if necessary, 
and to provide symlinks from the right places, to things like

libgphoto2.so.2

and is supposed to get run automatically after a make install, and also on 
reboot. Sorry to have to ask, but are you _really_ sure that all of the 
old junk got removed? And you ran each of ./configure, make, make install 
for libgphoto2 and then for gphoto2, in the order I listed them? And got 
no error messages for either of the ./configure s nor for the make, nor 
for the make install? If you followed the steps exactly, this kind of 
stuff is not supposed to happen. Don't take it wrong. Don't think I am 
acting superior. Sooner or later, every mortal has one of those 
unlucky days when one is sure that one did everything exactly right and 
something falls on the head anyway. But, seriously, this is not supposed 
to happen. The 2.1.6 releases are not alpha or beta software. So, I would 
say try again, read the installation instructions again, and check double 
before each step.

It would be nice to get to the point to know whether or not I even guessed 
right that the new camera can be supported in camlibs/polaroid or not. If 
we get a positive answer to that, you may be 97% toward getting it 
supported. If not, there is a bit more to do.

Marcus, would you like to get in on this? The new camera is an 
0x797:0x8001 with a Grandtech chipset. So, the advice I gave, which is in 
the process of being carried out, is to see if it gets anything positive 
from the camera, to add it to the list in polaroid/pdc640.c.
