Are you sure you have configured gspca properly? Go to "Device Drivers > Multimedia Devices > Video Capture Adapters > v4l usb devices > GSPCA Based Webcams" in the menu provided by "make menuconfig" in /usr/src/linux and enable the relivent driver. Unfortunately, after looking across which webcames are gspca-supported, Ricoh doesn't show up a single time. So that may be just about useless. The only drivers I could find are significantly behind in supported kernel versions, but could be worth a shot: http://www.arakhne.org/ricoh/ In addition, there has been success using media-video/linux-uvc with Ricoh webcams, so that could also be worth a shot. Regardless, good luck, and do follow up if any of these ideas work.
