Doing the above causes gphoto2 --list-ports to include the USB port in the list along with the serial ports. However, gtkam and konquerer still generate the same error messages as before. Gtkam causes this error to be displayed: gp_port_usb_open: could not claim intf 0: Device or resource busy Can you think of any reason that the USB port would be busy? I don't have any other USB devices connected to the port. Now, this may be a clue. Starting gtkam without the camera turned on causes a segmentation fault. So, the camera itself must be causing the USB port to appear busy. Perhaps the USB driver for the Kodak DC3400 is not working correctly. -- Regards, Phil [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

You'll need to grab the latest libusb from CVS then compile and install it. To do this: Browse to libusb.sourceforge.net and go to the download link. Locate the tarball for libusb with at least 0.1.5 version. Once you download, extract the tarball then run ./configure, make, su to root, then 'make install' to install the libusb package. If you want the most recent version from CVS (currently around 0.1.6), do this: Create a directory then copy the following to a file called Makefile in that directory (or you can run the two commands manually): ---Start here--- all: cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/libusb login ; cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/libusb co libusb --- End here --- cd to the directory the run 'make' at the command prompt. If there are no errors on build, su to root then run 'make install'. Once libusb is installed, grab the latest gphoto and extract the tarball. CD to the gphoto directory. Verify that /usr/local/bin is in your path. If it's not, type: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin (You'll need the above directory to find libusb-config.) Run 'make'. CD to root then run 'make install'. Note, the default location for the source gphoto is in /usr/local/bin. I think Mandrake places the binaries in /usr/bin. You can either uninstall the old gphoto package or move the /usr/bin/gphoto* binaries to new names then (optionally) make symlinks to /usr/local/bin/gphoto*. That should be it.

Many thanks Ed gphoto2-2.0-0.beta1.2mdk works fine on my 8.1 system with libusb0.1-0.1.3b-1mdk. The GTKam package provides a nice GUI, or you can configure your camera in Control Center - Peripherals - Kamera, and then using Konqueror enter camera:/ at the adress bar. Works for me with my Olympus c3000. :-) rm Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
