You can always build libusb-0.1 from source on your Suse 10.3. On the other hand, libusb-0.1 has not been updated for quite some time. The last release version is 0.1.12 and it was released on 2006-03-04. But I just checked the Ubuntu patches for libusb-0.1 and indeed there is a patch related to this topic. And indeed this shows that it is a libusb-0.1 bug. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libusb/2:0.1.12-20 The Debian patch is here. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libusb_0.1.12-20.debian.tar.gz In the patches, there is one with the name 08_bus_location.diff. --- a/linux.c +++ b/linux.c @@ -355,6 +355,7 @@ strncpy(bus->dirname, entry->d_name, sizeof(bus->dirname) - 1); bus->dirname[sizeof(bus->dirname) - 1] = 0; + bus->location = atoi(bus->dirname); LIST_ADD(fbus, bus); -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
