[SOLVED] Can't find libusb

[janpihlgren]

I'm trying to install phidget programs and library.
When runing ./configure I get the message:

...
checking for library containing libusb_init... no
checking for library containing usb_find_busses... no
configure: error: Missing libusb!

I have checked the lib-directory and lib64-direcktory and there are a couple of libs that maybe the ones but I think the .configure looks for just libusb.
The libs I found is:

libusb-0.1.so.4
libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4
libusb-1.0.so
libusb-1.0.so.0
libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0
libusbmuxd.so
libusbmuxd.so.1.0.8
libusbmuxd.so.2

They exist in /lib, /lib64, /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 directories.
Is there anyone that know what to do?

When compiling from source code, you need to install the "-devel" packages for all the libraries that you will use.

Code: Select all

# urpmq -y libusb
libusb-compat0.1-devel
libusb-compat0.1-static-devel
libusb-compat0.1_4
libusb1.0-devel
libusb1.0_0
libusbmuxd-devel
libusbmuxd2
libusbredirhost-devel
libusbredirhost1
libusbredirparser-devel
libusbredirparser0
libusbx-devel-doc


I'd guess that libusb1.0-devel is the one you need in this case.

I tried this:

Code: Select all

# urpmi libusb1.0-devel
Package libusb1.0-devel-1.0.17-2.mga4.i586 is already installed

Than I again run ./configure and get this message:

Code: Select all

checking for library containing libusb_init... no
checking for library containing usb_find_busses... no
configure: error: Missing libusb!

For some reason the configurescript can't find libusb.

On a 64bit system you probably need the 64bit devel package.

Remove the libusb1.0-devel one and try again with lib64usb1.0-devel

Please next time use code tags as explained in ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mandriva/m ... e_tags.ogv

Please show the output of:

Code: Select all

uname -m
rpm -qa | grep usb | sort
pkg-config --libs-only-l libusb-1.0

and as root

Code: Select all

ldconfig -p | grep usb

And in the libphidget directory run

Code: Select all

grep -i usb config.log

This is what it looks like here:

Code: Select all

checking for library containing iconv... none required
checking for library containing libusb_init... -lusb-1.0
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating examples/Makefile
config.status: creating libphidget21.pc

claire:
You find the solution.
When I used mcc to install libusb ther was only .586 libs displayed.
Now I used the terminal and the following commads:

Code: Select all

urmpe libusb1.0-devel

then

Code: Select all

urpmi lib64usb1.0-devel

Then run the configuration script and make and make install.
That did the work and now I am a happy man
Thanks!
