If it is a Debian derivative you probably need to install the build-essential package first. Other distros may have an equivalent. > Are there any easy way to install this utils from its package?

I suspect most distros would consider this project dead, it has had no updates in 6 years and the only pull request has been ignored for over a year. Even if you manage to build it it may not work with current kernels. Judging by the complete lack of traffic on this list I'm afraid Linux support for firewire devices can be considered moribund at best. Martin |
