usb 1-3: configuartion #1 chosen from 3 choices"
fdisk -l it just shows my os hdd: sda sda1 swap
fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

"worm 5252" i want to mount it so i can reformat it to vfat or fat 32. and yes i have previously used a ipod nano on this computer and mounted and reformated it. rhythmbox dosnt not recognize the device nor does gtkpod or amarok.
"camphor" actually im not sure if it is jailbroken i think my bro might have jailbroken it but didnt do it right or something like that.
Ah I see. I have never reformatted mine and I haven't tried managing my iphone, but now that you mention it I will. BTW I have not jailbroken my iphone.
ok thank you for the information by the way. i had to reformate the computer due to the person who installed the os used laptop preferences with clutter desktop witch wouldnt uninstall for what ever reason. but knoe the os is up and running useing sabayon linux 5.1 completly updated now im trying to install the applications. i got usbmuxd-1.0.2 installed
libplist-1.2 installed but when i try to install libimobiledevice-0.9.7
this is what i get:
checking for libusbmuxd... configure: error: Package requirements (libusbmuxd >= 0.1.4) were not met:
No package 'libusbmuxd' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables libusbmuxd_CFLAGS
and libusbmuxd_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
if you scroll down it clearly states that libusbmuxd is in usbmuxd which i got installed. so the library is in /usr/local/lib i tried mv it to usr/lib and same thing happened. im not entirly sure how to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH so i did a search on it and found the command set which gave me this:
ok thanks i set the path to were everything installl PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib then tried to configure th eprogram again and it still brings up:
No package 'libusbmuxd' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables libusbmuxd_CFLAGS
and libusbmuxd_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
the path now shows up in set command.
so i have no idea whats going on why it dosnt see the file.

mayb this doesnt matter but i typed in ps aux | grep usbmuxd to see if it started all i got was the readme file that i was looking at to see where i went wrong. if i installed usbmuxd correctly shouldnt the service have already started and if not then how would i go about manualy statring it?
the readme say's that i may have to manualy start it if udev dosnt automaticaly run picking up new rule files. then it gives this command: sudo usbmuxd -U -v -v &
./iproxy 2222 22 &
ssh -p 2222 root@localhost
now when i entered that command it told me that usbmuxd was not a command so does that mean it is not installed correctly or just that it hasnt started up?
ok so usbmuxd is not in init.d so i did a reinstall of it heres the process:
ladyrokabye usbmuxd-1.0.2 # cmake -i
Would you like to see advanced options? [No]:yes
Please wait while cmake processes CMakeLists.txt files....
