0) Save the shar attachment to "libusb.shar"
1) backup your existing .so files then pkg_delete -f libusb-0.1.7_1
2) (as root) cd /usr/ports/devel
3) backup your libusb: mv libusb libusb.orig
4) sh /path/to/libusb.shar

I suggest to remove point 1), and add 5) run "portupgrade libusb"

As I had mentioned before, Johannes bumped the lib version so after you compile
and install this port you will need to go to /usr/local/lib (or whatever your
PREFIX is) and do


 ln -s libusb-0.1.so.8 libusb-0.1.so.7

so that any apps you have that were linked against the .so.7 file can find the
lib. Or, recompile them. You choose.

A version bump of the library version suggests an ABI change, so the only real solution is to recompile. A symlink may work for some applications, but not for all.

Bye,
Alexander.
