/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lusb help???


Hi

No one has been able to help me wioth this problem and I mean knowone lol I have asked hundreds of so called linux experts, and none have given a solution that worked.

I am having no luck at all installing my adsl modems, either one.
AND THEY SAID LINUX WAS GETTING EASIER AND MORE FRIENDLY, PAH!!!

Either my Zoom modem or my Copperjet allied data 800 one.

With the copperjet one I managed to get hold of a driver for it from sourceforge, but I am getting the following error when i do a, make

cc -I../lib/libusb -c common.c
cc -I../lib/libusb -lusb 5160.c common.o -o 5160
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lusb
collect2: ld returned 1 exit stats
make[1]:*** [5160] Error 1
make[1]:leaving dir the dir i was doing the make in
make:*** [911] error 2

Now I had a look around through google doing a search for, lusb, and found some forum posts relating to, usbutils, package, and it not being installed, so I checked and usbutils is installed on my machine,

so I am stumped, I have no clue what to do next??????????

Its so frustrating because I have the driver for the copperjet modem right here I jsut cant install it because of that dumb error above.

If its not askign for usbutils with lusb in it, then what the hell is , -lusb, and how can I get it on my system?

Or if its not asking for -lusb then what the hell is it asking for??????
Can anyone out there help me at all?? I am a n00b and have no clue what to do enxt at all???

I am using Mandrake 9.1

Got a link to the sf.net project. I'll take a look at how it compiles and see what you need to get it to compile.

Cheers,
