[Gpsbabel-misc] Library libusb-0.1.so.4 is on my host but GPSBabel cannot see it

[Joseph E. <je...@ho...>]

 I’m trying to get GPSBabel running on my remote server and seem to be having
a problem related to the library  libusb-0.1.so.4.

I’m using shared hosting by Bluehost.  They are using:
    Apache version 2.2.14 (Unix)
    Architecture x86_64
    Operating system Linux
I have shell access.

Bluehost did not install  libusb-0.1.so.4  in  /usr/local/lib
Instead, they installed this library in  /usr/lib64

?Does GPSBabel require that the libusb-0.1.so.4 library be installed in
/usr/local/lib instead of someplace else?

I used this command to dump the default path cache to a file and then looked
at the file:
    ldconfig  -p > /home/mapping1/etc/ldconfig_dump

The standard path cache includes this reference to the required library:
    libusb-0.1.so.4 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libusb-0.1.so.4

In a shell session I navigated to my bin directory and tried this command to
install the GPSBabel binary file so I could actually start using GPSBabel:
    rpm  -ip  gpsbabel-1.3.6-0.i386.rpm
Here is the error message I received:
    error: Failed dependencies:
    libusb-0.1.so.4 is needed by gpsbabel-1.3.6-0.i386

Since the path to the required library is in the default cache that holds
the library paths, I’m puzzled why GPSBabel was unable to find this
library.:confused:

Some googling turned up a post by Robert indicating I should set
environmental variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/lib.  I did so and
confirmed that the setting was sticky.  I then gave the above rpm command
again.  However, I received the same error message about “Failed
dependencies”.  While this tip may work for others, I did not expect it to
work for me since Bluehost did not install the subject library in
/usr/local/lib.

Then I tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib64 (location of the required
library) and tried the rpm command again.  Rats, I got the same error
message.

Any ideas what I should try next?

Is my only option to try to convince Bluehost to install the library a
second time and put it in /usr/local/lib?
