I managed to get 1.24.x (VM is shut down right now due to VMware update 
'things' going on, so can't check specific version) running, but it wasn't 
pleasant, and required very specific versions of things to get it working on 
CentOS 5.  It does work, but it is touchy if any of its dependencies gets 
updated.  And now there is a newer version than the one I have running.....

And the SELinux business is still there (or rather, not there) and that 
complicates things. This seems to be more true with network cameras than with 
native v4l devices.

With the library version in C6 being more close to what ZM wants, it should be 
easier to make it work with C6.  Haven't tried out C6 on our VMware setup yet; 
it's ESX 3.5U5, and AFAIK EL6 isn't supported on ESX3.5.  But I'm still digging 
into that, and seeing if vSphere 4 vmware-tools from packages.vmware.com will 
work on ESX3.5.

If ZM just wasn't the most useful CCTV webcam software out there, bar none, I'd 
probably not even bother.  I haven't found anything even close to ZM in terms 
of functionality in the open-source realm.
