Re: [Libusb-devel] libusb configured and built on one system moved to another

[Barry P. <bpa...@pd...>]

Thanks for the answers and insight.  

Since my original question, I've convinced the person having the trouble to configure, build and install libusb on the faster system and they are still having trouble.  Therefore the problem is not with libusb, but something else.

Thanks again to you and Peter for your help and most importantly for your patience in a somewhat naïve question.  
Sincerely, Barr P..

Really?  Why would you think so, just out of curiousity?  The compiler doesn't know about the clock speed.  It just generates instructions. 
Consider, for example, Ubuntu.  They produce a single binary distribution that runs on anything newer than a Pentium II.  It could be built on a Pentium II (although probably isn't), and run just fine on a Quad Core Xenon.

Things to look at are permissions, and presence/absence of usbfs.  Do you know what troubles he is having, specifically?
