Could you please copy the message, it would be very helpful. Also, what
do you use to install pcsc-lite: the tarball or a rpm package? Which
version is it?

Here is a list of possible cause:
- the first versions of the debian package were not compiled with USB
support, maybe it was the same for the rpms.
- if you have USB support compiled as module, you have to install the
usb-uhci module "by hand"
- if you get the following message, you may not have copied the bundle
to the right location.
pcscd:pcscdaemon.c 126: /var/run/pcscd.pid
pcscd:pcscdaemon.c 146: main: PC/SC Lite Daemon Ready. 
pcscd: hotplug_linux.c 146: No bundle files in pcsc drivers directory 

I hope this helps,
JLuc.

I suspect the answer is 'none of the above' :-)

The precise message I get is:

usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x8e6/0x430) is not claimed by any active
driver.

I'm compiling MUSCLE 0.9.1 and the GemPC430 driver from source. There
are a few problems with 'make install' in MUSCLE, at least on my setup:
for example it installs reader.conf in /usr/local/etc but expects to
find it in /etc and it doesn't seem to install the pcsd binary (well
script) anywhere.

pcsd doesn't give any error message on start up.

Presumably the hotplug support registers the vend/prod id when it looks
through the bundle, my guess is that it isn't doing that for some
reason, but I'm not familiar enough with how Linux USB works to trace it
any further.

BTW do you know anything about the GPR400 device driver? One problem I
get with that is that after the 'power down' command it stays powered
down and doesn't respond to any commands (including 'reset' which I
believe is supposed to power it up again). A reboot or eject/reinsert is
needed.

Yes and no :-) (see below).

The default 'make install' does not compile pcscd with usb support
(which was the reason of the "problem" with the packages). You should
first './configure --enable-usb' to enable usb support. If you have the
GemPC430 bundle in the 'drivers' folder of the pcsc install, it should
work.

I don't know anything about it. I'll see if I can find out anything
regarding this issue.

I did run ./configure with --enable-usb. 

I also ran pcsd under strace and it seems to be reading the 'bundle'
files and there's also some additional activity when the reader is
plugged in.

A bit more progress. I've enabled debugging output and more importantly
edited syslog.conf so it doesn't throw debugging output away :-)

I get the following on startup:

Jun  5 17:19:24 localhost pcscd:pcscdaemon.c 128: main: PC/SC Lite
Daemon Ready. 
Jun  5 17:19:24 localhost pcscd:  bundleparser.l  95: Value/Key not
defined for: CFBundleExecutable

I'll see if I can trace it a bit further. Looks like it doesn't like the
bundle config file for some reason.

That did the trick. I still get a few kernel warning messages when I
plug the device in but I can now access the reader, thanks.

Hello all...

Now I have yet ANOTHER twist to all this...

I just recently got the American Express reader which is a
GemPlus GCR 435.  A wild guess would be an OEM version of the 430.

Sure enough...  Tweak a constant in usbserial.c and a couple of
strings in ifd-GemPC430.bundle/Contents/Info.plist and the 430 driver drives
the 435 reader (yes, the vendor code is the same and the product code
changed from 0x430 to 0x435).

Right now, it looks like we have to have two different bundles
to support two different readers even though the drivers are virtually
identical (other than the vendor code).  Correct?  If so, we should add
something in here to support the 435?  Somehow.

Hmmm...  I see a warning message like this:

Jun  6 01:43:30 alcove kernel: usbdevfs: process 12931 (pcscd) did not claim interface 
0 before use

That's with Linux 2.4.5 and the GemPlus 435 reader I'm working with.
