OK. I was not aware at all that the two versions may not coincide.

Humm. No. I did not. libusb ant libusb-shlibs were installed though.

Two little suggestions:

1) I think it would be a good idea to ask, when installing/updating 
fink, if these flags should be set up to allow compilation against the 
fink hierarchy. I think it would be useful to have such a configuration 
by default, since users need relatively often (hopefully not too often) 
to include things outside of fink.

2) What about creating a package for usbutils?

Thank you very much. My ./configure script now works very well.

Moving on to make. I thank you very much.

Guillaume Yziquel.
