Thanks.
I found some more info that might help, if I understood it :)From the
main PyUSB page, at http://pyusb.berlios.de/ , its says:
"PyUSB uses the libusb to do its work, so, any system which has Python
and libusb should work for PyUSB."
OK, great -- that moves your problem from PyUSB to libusb, which is
useful to know. The PyUSB page lists supported operating systems only
as "Linux" which is partly what threw me off.
I have installed the OSX version of libusb, and it puts the missing
file "usb.h" in the directory: usr/local/include/usb.h
In the instruction for installing PyUSB on windows, it says:
"2) libusb-win32: a Windows version of the libusb C library available
from http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net.
From within a Cygwin terminal, copy the libusb.a file from the
libusb-win32 lib/ directory to $(CYGWINDIR)/usr/lib/, and copy the
usb.h file from the libusb-win32 include/ directory to
$(CYGWINDIR)/usr/include/. You can build and install PyUSB with the
command: python setup.py install"
Whoa, why are we discussing Windows all of a sudden?
As I have the required usb.h file, is there some way to let the
compiler know where is it when I run python setup.py install? I
already tried copying the "usb.h" file from usr/local/include/ to /
usr/
iinclude, but it still didnt find it.
You don't have to do anything special to get the Python compile step
to look in /usr/include or /usr/local/include.
Can you post the output from this command?
find /usr -name usb.h -ls
Also post the output you get when you run this for PyUSB:
sudo python setup.py install
