Here is what worked for me   Install the userspace USB programming library development files  sudo apt-get install libusb-1 0-0-dev sudo updatedb  amp  amp  locate libusb h   The path should appear as  or similar    usr include libusb-1 0 libusb h   Include the header to your C code   include  lt libusb-1 0 libusb h gt    Compile your C file  gcc -o example example c -lusb-1 0
