[AG-TECH] AccessGrid 2.0 in Slackware 9.0

I'm attempting to install the AccessGrid packages in Slackware 9.0.

First -- I'd like to point out the folly of providing the source 
packages in RPM format only. That doesn't count as "source" -- that's a 
source RPM. Sources should be in generic tar.gz packages.

Nevertheless, I have installed rpm in order to access the sources. I 
have been attempting to build Slackware packages from the tar.gz files 
extracted from the source RPMs, but things are not building; attempts to 
  rebuild the rpms using rpmbuild are also failing (some of the files 
are "installed but not packaged" - I had a vague notion of converting 
rpms to slackware packages but after this problem decided it would be a 
better idea to just build from raw sources).

I'm perfectly happy building directly from source but the sources have 
to build -- building vic fails with the following error:

rm -f video/grabber-qcam.o; c++ -o video/grabber-qcam.o -c -O2 -g -W -Wall
-Wno-implicit-int -Wno-return-type -DQCAMDEV -DLinux -DUSE_SHM -fsigned-char

-I../tk-8.0/generic -I../tcl-8.0/generic   -Icodec/jpeg -Icodec/p64 -I.
video/grabber-qcam.cpp

video/grabber-qcam.cpp:69: qcam-os.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [video/grabber-qcam.o] Error 1

Obviously a missing header. What is the header from?

Is there a dependency chain posted anywhere on the AG 2.0 website?
