Hi, I'm having a Wacom intuos pen&touch CTH-480 tablet, and I need to update my libwacom to a newer version (because last debian version is 0.8, and there is no my tablet in data folder of 0.8, but I found my tablet in 0.10 libwacom data folder, so I need to install 0.10). I tried to configure make install it from tar.gz, but got some errors, mabbe you will help me, : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_i...ew?usp=sharing (a txt file with command prompt results)
. Thanks in advance

It looks like you've run the configure script with sudo. This is generally unnecessary; you only really need to run "make install" with elevated privileges. The configure script may have generated some files, which are only accessible by the root user, hence the "permission denied" error. I'd suggest starting again, but just running configure as your user, rather than with sudo.

Thanks for the reply!

But it seems that normal user permissions is not enough:

Code:

vonavy14@samsung-nb-530ub:~$ cd /home/vonavy14/Downloads/libwacom/libwacom-0.10/vonavy14@samsung-nb-530ub:~/Downloads/libwacom/libwacom-0.10$ ./configure
./configure: line 1890: config.log: Permission denied
./configure: line 1900: config.log: Permission denied

oh, sorry, I did't get immidiately that I should have to delete my libwacom-0.10 folder and start everything again. Now I did it, it seems to be installed successfully,
Howewer, my device still not working, and now I have absolutely no ideas why

It should be listed if I execute
/usr/local/bin/libwacom-list-local-devices
or
xsetwacom list
but those commands return empty results.
Totally confused

so that looks like another problem, the configure is now successfully completed. Please close this thread (and mark solved) and open a new one, with an appropriate title.
