Make sure you did the "rpm -Uvh gphoto*" as the the root user.

There's another option you could do. 99% of all digital cameras
just use a FAT filesystem on their memory. If you have the camera
attached to the computer, try doing an "fdisk -l /dev/sda" and see
if you get a listing of partitions. If you do, try:
mount /dev/sdax /mnt/cdrom
(where the "x" is the partition number). You should then be able to
walk down the camera's file system which now appears at /mnt/cdrom:
ls /mnt/cdrom
For example, with my Canon camera connected, "fdisk /dev/sda" shows a
single partiton, 1. If I:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cdrom
Then I see the entire filesystem at:
/mnt/cdrom/dcim/olymp200/img00001.jpg
etc.
