[Libusb-devel] Getting errror using libusb 1.0 on RHEL 4.6

[Navdeep <sin...@re...>]

Hi,



I am working on RHEL 4 (64x).First time i am working on libusb.

In our existing implementation of usbdaemon(binary) we are using the libusb.1.4 related functions ( usb_init(), usb_open(), usb_close)



Now i want to update my usbdaemon(binary) to support with libusb1.0.



For this i downloaded libusb souce code form sourceforge. Then i Built and installed it on the above machine as per instructions provided in "INSTALL" file which is successfully installed at location /usr/local/lib (Doubt 1 : why it installed at local in place of /usr/lib or /usr/lib64)



After this if update my binary with the new function then i get the following error.



/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/../../../../lib/libusb.so when searching for -lusb

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/../../../libusb.so when searching for -lusb

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/../lib/libusb.so when searching for -lusb

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/libusb.so when searching for -lusb

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/libusb.a when searching for -lusb

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libusb.so when searching for -lusb

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lusb

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [usbdaemon] Error 1





Here is my doubts:



1. Does RHEL supports to the libusb1.0.so ?

2. Why all files installed at local directory?

3. Is there any other way to build my binary with libusb 1.0 ?



Thanks & regards
