Thanks to everyone who's replied thus far. It seems the information given at http://pkgs.org/ isn't fully correct.

These multiple libusb's throw quite a bit of ambiguity and doubt into the process of compiling and linking sources which ask for libusb v.1.0.x. Symlinking or changing a Makefile or *.h file might allow compilation to succeed (or not), then might successful linking (or not), and then might let the executable(s) run correctly (or not); the last part I (or anyone else) might not find out until after the merchandise return deadline has passed. Who knows? One thing is certain: Canon could have put a little more effort into their code and provided a friendlier and less doubtful driver package.

Speaking of improvements: Better commands for displaying this info would be:

cat /etc/redhat-release
rpm -qa | grep libusb
