modprobe: FATAL: Module mxc_v4l2_capture not found

Hello Daniel Nugent.
I am using your source code of vision based precision landing for Arducopter and SITL at github (https://github.com/djnugent/Precland) . I want to test my algorithm in the Ardupilot’s SITL emulator running in Ubuntu (64-bit) on my laptop before porting it into the UAV. To run your Precland code, I compile the ‘libsolocam.so’ shared library for Intel x86-64 architecture.

I successfully run the Arducopter & SITL but when I call your precision landing code by giving the cmd ‘api start /home/<your_username>/precland/PrecisionLand.py’ in Arducopter terminal, it gives me the following error.

GUIDED> modprobe: FATAL: Module mxc_v4l2_capture not found.
VIDIOC_S_INPUT error 22, Invalid argument
Exception in APIThread-0: Error in solocam C call (see stderr)
Traceback (most recent call last): .....

I am newbie to Ardupilot,and Solo etc. but it seems to me that there is some problem in simulating the Solo capture device.

I have the following environment.

-System Architecture: Intel X86 64-bit
-Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64-bit)
-Python 2.7.6
-droneapi 1.5.0
-MAVProxy 1.5.2
-cv-utils 0.0.1
-pymavlink 2.3.7

I am curious to know the exact environment that you use to run the Precland code.

Do you run the above stated code in Linux & SITL on your Laptop?

Thanking in anticipation.
