David: I use Fink instead of MacPorts, so I'm not sure how they handle
libusb. NUT uses the 0.1 API, but that can either be provided by
libusb-0.1.x (currently 0.1.12) or by the compatibility layer of libusb-1.0.
Can you check on that version number?

Also, OS X has the concept of security contexts, and I think that USB devices are "owned" by processes in the console context. Are you starting the NUT driver from a console context (e.g. Terminal.app while logged in),
versus from a SSH session?

Charles, thank you for your reply. My developer skills are beyond rusty and i'm new to the osx environment, but I hope I can answer your questions
correctly.
First off, here is everything macports knows about usb:
usbprog                        @0.1.8          cross/usbprog
libusb                         @1.0.8          devel/libusb
libusb-compat                  @0.1.3          devel/libusb-compat
libusb-devel                   @1.0.8.20101017 devel/libusb-devel
libusb-legacy                  @0.1.12         devel/libusb-legacy
usbmuxd                        @1.0.7          devel/usbmuxd
py26-pyusb                     @0.4.2          python/py26-pyusb
py26-pyusb-devel @1.0.0-a1 python/py26-pyusb- devel py27-pyusb-devel @1.0.0-a1 python/py27-pyusb- devel Secondly, I am executing everything via Terminal (I dont know how to ssh
stuff to be honest).
Hope that helps.
Dave

Hmm, you have both libusb-compat and libusb-legacy. Unfortunately,
that alone doesn't tell us what NUT is linked against.

What does "otool -L <path-to-drivers>/blazer_usb" show? Not sure what
that path would be for MacPorts, but it's probably something under
/opt.
Hi Charles, here is the output from otool as requested:

/opt/local/bin/blazer_usb:
/opt/local/lib/libusb-0.1.4.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.4.0) /opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 159.0.0)


David,

is there a way to check which package contains /opt/local/lib/ libusb-0.1.4.dylib? I'm thinking it should be libusb-legacy, but then that means that the libusb-1.0.0 file shouldn't be there. Programs should really only be linked against one version of libusb, and if it's using the new version plus libusb-compat, I would think the first .dylib would be named as such.

This might be a question for the MacPorts maintainer for that package.
