<title>Installation of <application>libusb</application></title>
<para>Install <application>libusb</application> by running the following

<para><option>--disable-build-docs</option>: This switch avoids building the
documentation. If you wish to build the documentation, you may need to remove
the <application>OpenSP</application> catalog definitions from the system
<acronym>SGML</acronym> catalogs. Use the following command before building
the package to accomplish this:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>sed -i.orig \
-e "/CATALOG \/etc\/sgml\/OpenSP-1.5.1.cat/d" \
/etc/sgml/catalog \
/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook.cat</command></userinput></screen>

<title>Configuring <application>libusb</application></title>
<para>libusb requires the usbfs kernel filesystem to be mounted on
<filename class="directory">/proc/bus/usb</filename>. Applications require the
files in this directory to be accessible to the user, sometimes for both
reading and writing. To restrict access to <acronym>USB</acronym> devices,
ensure the usb group exits on your system. If necessary, create the usb group
using the following command:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>groupadd -g 14 usb</command></userinput></screen>
<!-- <para>Compiling the <quote>USB device filesystem</quote> as a kernel module is
not recommended. However, if you did compile it as a module, you can install an
init script to mount usbfs at system boot-up. An init script is included in the
<xref linkend="intro-important-bootscripts"/> package and is installed using
the following command:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>make install-usb</command></userinput></screen> -->
<para>Ensure that you have compiled the <quote>USB device filesystem</quote>
directly into the kernel or compiled it as a module (listing the resulting
<quote>usbcore</quote> module in the
<filename>/etc/sysconfig/modules</filename> file). You should also have an
entry similar to the line below in your <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>
file:</para>
<screen><userinput>usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=14,devmode=0660 0 0</userinput></screen>
