Thanks for the additional info; my platform is MacOS which does not seem to have HAL, so I had to run configure with "--nolibhal", in any case, the OpenUSB library sample code doesn't work and the tar archive was missing a mac-specific header file, which I had to pull from cvs, so I'm not certain that it's the best library for MacOS at this time. -Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
