If you look into /etc/udev/rules.d your going to be creating a rule..its just a text file with .rules extension and name it foo so file would be "foo.rules"
then paste into it

# usbfs-like devices
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#usbdev}; \
printf bus/usb/%%03i/%%03i $${K%%%%.*} $${K#*.}'", \
NAME="%c"

MODE="660", GROUP="foo"

then save it
then make another rule named "bar.rules" and paste in

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1234", \
SYSFS{idProduct}=="4321"

MODE="660", GROUP="baz"
RUN="/usr/local/bin/baz"
SYMLINK+="foo"


thats the way i read it and how its suppose to be done,,hopefully someone with more knowledge will respond to this post ..
but you can still go ahead and build the program..and see if it runs..Im not sure of the names..if it suppose to be "foo" and
"baz"..or those are just example names..like i said..hopefully someone with more knowledge will respond and set it straight
other thing i noticed is ..source code you used was 1.12...I downloaded version 1.20..so you dont have latest source code for program..
source code i downloaded was on this page http://www.microchip.com/stellent/id...nt3_NextRow=31

well..I didnt say to copy the directory..I said you needed to CREATE a rule..which is just a text file with .rule extension...you could use gedit or nano.. which are editors
su
gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/foo.rules
then copy%paste info into it and save it
gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/bar.rules
then copy%paste info into it and save
or you could use nano nano -w /etc/udev/rules.d/foo.rules
or if you dont want to do that you can make nautilus open up as root...
in terminal enter su
then type nautilus

Im assuming your using Gnome..that is default desktop on Debian
the reason you cant delete folders is because you probably ran ./configure make and make install as root
you only need to be root to "make install" thats why you cant delete it
Like i said..compiling from source is not the same for every program.
On the other program all you had to do was "make linux" then "make install"
But no matter what program the same applies ..you should have read the read me's to see what was required to build it..Could of required development packages you needed to install first..

well for 64bit flash there is a download from adobe
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html


chrischristian you might also consider installing the 32 bit os
the 64 bit can make things MUCH more complicated ,and seeing as there are not many 64 bit programs out there ...

I think I should really try 36 bit but the problem is that this current 64 bit I got stragiht from net, I mean I just downloaded a small file and the PC booted from it (from the Hard disk, not any external media) and then it automatically downloaded the Debian from net, I want to do something like that with 32 but couldn't find any such thing that works like that for Debian Installed PC, I got some seprate files which takes toomuch time and the thing is that I don't have a CD writer or ZIP USB or a working Flopy drive,so I have to go by that HARD DISK BOOT WAY , is there any method that works with Debian Installed PC ? The page I got this 64bit was a single red (Debian) page with only single line in themiddle of it saying "CLICK TO DOWNLOAD DEBIAN"



BTW : I got this http://www.debian-resources.org/node/4
THOUGH I HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD IT FULLY IS THERE ANY EASIER EXPLANATION ?

I think you'll have to look for OpenSSL (or openssl) in Synaptic.

well first..see how mine has contrib and non-free add that to yours
its trying to install a version of flash that requires older versions of lib's..so its the adobe-flash that is the problem
first update your list by adding the contrib and non-free entry like mine..then go to this site and add a mirror for etch closest to your location
not sure what part of world you are in..
http://debian-multimedia.org/
you can do this different ways..simplest way is to use either gedit or nano
so from terminal su to get root then nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list
then add it to your list and save it..
then apt-get update
and then try to install adobe-flash
it should grab it from the debian-multimedia repo

or you could start off with a clean slate by going to debians site and downloading a net install image for i386 and install from there..
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
net install disc is about 140 megs
bussiness install is like 40 megs..it downloads everything from net..it only has enough to get system up and connect to net to download everything else
