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.

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.
