I received a Marks&Spencer USB Missile Launcher as a gift for Christmas with the the phrase "I heard that can work in Linux."

I have found software that works in Ubuntu and tried to install it but encountered errors.

Has anyone gotten one of these things to work in FC5 (or any other version of FC)? If so, please tell me how.

A missile launcher, eh? Don't you take this Linux world domination thing a bit too far? ;-)

Anyway, which errors do you get?
As far as I can see this software is written in Python. You may not have all necessary Python modules installed.

Apperently, you need
0. python (>=2.3)
1. libusb (>=0.1.8)
2. pyusb (==0.3.1) python module with patch included below
3. urwid python module

I can't seem to get pyusb to install. When I try installing it the get a long readout of errors. Not being much of a command line person and being far from being a coder, I have no idea what I'm looking at. I've not been able to find an RPM of pyusb for Fedora, and besides it appears that a patch to the software is necessary for it to work with the launcher. Here is the readout I get when i try installing as per the instructions from the website of the software coder.

I am using Debian however and just installed

which installed the needed libraries and worked for me..
