coriander fails with Firewire-iSight-Webcam using libdc1394. Error: Failed to initialize libdc1394 Segmentation fault

Binary package hint: libdc1394-22

I want to use my 5-year old external Firewire-iSight-Webcam. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on the 2nd HD of my MacPro-Intel.
I read, that firewire-iSights would run, if libdc1394 and coriander is installed. If I apt-get install coriander, it fetches the packages libdc1394-22 and libraw1394-8

If I try to sudo coriander, it gives me the error:

libdc1394 error: Failed to initialize libdc1394
Segmentation fault

If I dmesg |grep 1394 it gives me

produnis@UbuntuPro:/etc/modprobe.d$ dmesg |grep 1394

So it seems as if there is something wrong with libdc1394, -22 and the coriander-handshake on Mac-Machines...

Check for device file: /dev/raw1394
Do You have one? Do You have permissions to read/write to this device?

$ ls -la /dev/raw1394

On my Ubuntu 9.04 system this looks like:

crw-rw---- 1 root disk 171, 0 2009-10-30 11:34 /dev/raw1394

This means You must be either root or in the disk users group.

If there is no device file, You must load raw1394 module. From Your dmesg logs seems like module is loaded.
