libusb dependancy error when installing libmtp

hi, i am getting this error trying to run the configure script when installing libmtp on knoppix.

Code:

configure: error: I can't find the libusb libraries on your system. You
        may need to set the LDFLAGS environment variable to include the
        search path where you have libusb installed before running
        configure (e.g. setenv LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib)

how do i find out if libusb is installed and if not how do i install it ?

thanks,

Hi,

ldconfig can list whatever installed (in correct path), read manual. If libusb is installed but not in correct path, ldconfig cannot locate it.
find / -name libusb\* can find any possible ones.

If you do not find, go

thx.

i was able to install libmtp on rh9.
i ran ldconfig and i got nothing back.

is there anyway to disable usb then re-enable it. whenever i transfer files to my portable video player i have to unplug then re-plug in the usb cable which is quite tedious

i installed libusb then libmtp and it works in knoppix.

whats cool is in knoppix i dont have to un/re-plug in the portable media player after each transfer.
