You'll need to grab the latest libusb from CVS then compile and install
it. To do this:
Browse to libusb.sourceforge.net and go to the download link. Locate the
tarball for libusb with at least 0.1.5 version. Once you download,
extract the tarball then run ./configure, make, su to root, then 'make
install' to install the libusb package.
If you want the most recent version from CVS (currently around 0.1.6),
do this:
Create a directory then copy the following to a file called Makefile
in that directory (or you can run the two commands manually):
---Start here---
all:
cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/libusb
login ;
cvs -z3
-d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/libusb co libusb
--- End here ---
cd to the directory the run 'make' at the command prompt.
If there are no errors on build, su to root then run 'make install'.
Once libusb is installed, grab the latest gphoto and extract the
tarball. CD to the gphoto directory. Verify that /usr/local/bin is in
your path. If it's not, type:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
(You'll need the above directory to find libusb-config.)
Run 'make'. CD to root then run 'make install'.
Note, the default location for the source gphoto is in /usr/local/bin. I
think Mandrake places the binaries in /usr/bin. You can either uninstall
the old gphoto package or move the /usr/bin/gphoto* binaries to new
names then (optionally) make symlinks to /usr/local/bin/gphoto*.
That should be it.
