I've seen this problem too on Panther, but don't know how to fix it. I don't think I've got a full understanding of how OS/X finds shared libraries, etc. Enlightenment welcome. Perhaps the library check is failing to pass the right options, etc to the linker to get it happy. Not sure. If you try to compile the small test program by hand, does it link OK? If not, what does it take to get it to link? > My usb.h does declare usb_bulk_write, and the output from nm libusb.a > and nm libusb.dylib both have a line that contains T _usb_bulk_write. > So libusb is there and contains usb_bulk_write, contrary to > configure's complaint. > > config.log seems to indicate that configure failed to link a small > test program that invokes usb_bulk_write, for reasons that aren't > clear to me.
