If you can find libusb in the package format of your platform (RPM for
RedHat or Mandrake, dpkg for Debian, etc), then it should do it for
you.
Otherwise, I'd suggest:
1. Copy libusb.so (and whatever links/sub-versions) into
/usr/local/lib
2. Make sure that /usr/local/lib is present in /etc/ld.so.conf
3. Run "ldconfig"
And see if that does the trick.
I ended up finding it easier to just use a usb-connected media reader,
instead of trying to connect the camera itself.
Good luck,
t.
