[Haven't tried these, but they should give you the idea]

Alternatively f you have imagemagick installed:

  cqcam > filename.ppm
  convert filename.ppm filename.jpg
  convert filename.ppm filename.gif

or if you have netpbm installed:

  cqcam | ppmtogif > filename.gif

or if you have libjpeg-progs installed:

  cqcam | cjpeg > filename.jpg

Please see the respective man pages for more options.  As usual Linux
has umpteen different ways to do the job.
