Sounds like you need the version of gphoto2 from CVS, aka. the 
"bleeding edge" version.

http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=8874  has more details of how to 
get it - this is the unreleased, in development, moving target version 
so it may compile or it may not. Just create yourself a "builds" 
directory in your home directory, cd into it, and do the CVS checkout 
there. That way you can (a) learn a bit about CVS, and (b) download, 
configure and compile the app "locally" without bending anything on 
your system.

I'd strongly suggest that you have a good look around 
http://www.gphoto.org/ seeing as that's the software you're probably 
going to end up using.

http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php contains the line "SQ 
chip camera (EXPERIMENTAL)", so it may or may not work.
