hi there this is my first post in this forum. i am running linux ubuntu 6.10 and i have a blackberry pearl. i was able to install bcharge, and now my bb can finally be charged through the usb port of my laptop. now i want to install barry but when a type make install i have the following errors:

usbwrap.cc: In member function 'bool

Usb::DeviceDiscovery::Discover(Usb::usb_device*)':
usbwrap.cc:404: error: 'desc' was not declared in this scope
usbwrap.cc:404: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct Usb::usb_device'
usbwrap.h:53: error: forward declaration of 'struct Usb::usb_device'
make[1]: *** [usbwrap.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/Desktop/barry-0.6/src'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

it looks there is a problem related to my usb, but i have no idea how to figure out how to solve it. i have attached below the whole make install output so you can have all the infos.

I am trying to install barry v. 0.6(tar.gz file) from sourceforce. below you find the link to the file

"downloads.sourceforge.net/barry/barry-0.6.tar.gz?modtime=1172687651&big_mirror=0]SourceForge.net: Downloading ..."

anyone outhere???? i'll keep looking in the forum and goggling round.

It looks like you don't have the libusb-devel package installed; you need that to actually compile the source. I'm not an Ubuntu dude, but 'apt-get install libusb-devel' should probably do it for you.

Well you posted at 7pm on a Friday night - nerds have a life, too.

you're the MAN dude!!!!!! sorry if i replay so late(had to work),i tried your advice .you were right that package was neccesary for the install. thanks!!!!! starting really enjoining this forum (speccially the linux corner).

rivviepop to the rescue again! He ROCKS!
