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:
Code:
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?
