I do have Validity Inc. fingerprint reader VFS451 (id=138a:0007) and use Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.
I installed all dependencies required for compilation (libusb-1.0.0-dev, libnss3-dev,...) I downloaded: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hadess/libfprint-0.3.0.tar.bz2 and uncompressed it I donwloaded both patches inside dir where previous tar file was uncompressed I applied the first patch: $ patch -p1 < ../libfprint-0.3.0-vfs101.patch and applied second patch: $ patch -p1 < ../libfprint-0.3.0-vfs101.v5.patch afterwards I started configuration and compilation: $ autoreconf && ./configure && make compilation finished fine and I started install $ sudo make install installation installed libraries and I manually copied all libraries into 64 arch lib dir: $ sudo cp /usl/lib/libfprint.* /usr/lib64/ I started: $ sudo fprint_demo NOTHING!!!
