Same here. I always install libusb-dev after the installation of
Ubuntu along with some other must-have packages (e.g.:
build-essential, git/svn/cvs, python-dev, swig, automake/libtool,
etc). That is why I remember that libusb.so and other files
are in /usr/lib.

mcuee@mcuee-VirtualBox:/usr/lib$ ls -la libusb*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    20 2012-03-11 09:19 libusb-0.1.so.4 ->
/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31366 2011-07-27 19:15 libusb.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   807 2011-07-27 19:15 libusb.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    19 2012-01-31 04:52 libusbmuxd.so.1 ->
libusbmuxd.so.1.0.7
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21936 2012-01-31 04:52 libusbmuxd.so.1.0.7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    24 2011-07-27 19:15 libusb.so ->
/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4


mcuee@mcuee-VirtualBox:/lib$ ls -la libusb*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    19 2012-03-11 09:18 libusb-0.1.so.4 ->
libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30072 2011-07-27 19:15 libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4

(Nice, copy/paste works between Mac OS X and the Ubuntu Linux
Virtual Machine under VirtualBox).
