do you have a file called /usr/include/usb.h ? 1. usb support in the kernel makes you able to see usb stuff in the output of lsmod and do things like insmod usb-uhci
2. usbdevfs (or usbfs) being mounted gives you files in /proc/bus/usb that user-land apps can use to talk to the devices thru the kernel. 3. libusb being installed gives you /usr/lib/libusb.so and friends. this enables you to run apps that are compiled with libusb support. 4. the libusb header files are in /usr/include/usb.h and friends. these enable you to BUILD apps that use libusb support. do you have all four of these things? allan On Wed, 11 Feb 2004, Jim George wrote: > Allan, > > I don't have libusb-devel installed and I can't find a version for SuSE at > rpmfind.net. > > Also, as per the other email I sent to you and not the list (sorry).
