Hi Mike,
it is always better to use "Ubuntu Software Center" or "Synaptic Package Manager" to install/remove any application. You can find them via menu system (if you cannot find them, let us know exact version of Ubuntu that you are using).

1. for your web camera install and try application named: cheese
2. retry installing the application you mentioned via "Ubuntu Software Center"

Post back any new info to follow up!

Regards,
George
