[SOLVED] Trouble installing libmtp 1.1.6 to make xperia s recognized by Ubuntu 12.04

I want my Ubuntu 12.04 to recognize my Sony Xperia S LT26i phone when it plugs in. qlix and gmtp fail. I am following the suggestion posted here. I am trying the 4th answer provided, by Sid.

I tried to install the latest version of libmtp downloaded from sourceforge via tarball. Following the INSTALL file attached below, I ran ./configure, but make fails:

checking for LIBUSB... no
checking for openusb_init in -lopenusb... no
checking for LIBUSB... no
checking for usb_open in -lusb... no
configure: error: *** libusb not found! (missing -dev/-devel package?) ***\n*** prefer to install libusb-1 if you can! ***
matt@matt-NV57H:~/Downloads/libmtp-1.1.6$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

But when I check my package manager, I already have a version of libusb installed.

What to do?

search for libusb-devel

I already have a version of libusb installed.

The package "libusb" is not the complete libusb that you need to compile.

Please do : $ sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-dev
