[SOLVED] USB driver installation

[spec3]

HI!
I'm an italian student that's making a project for an exam of the university.
I'm trying to install a usb driver to talk with an instrument that my prof. give to me.
also the drivers were given by my prof.
the driver now I'm trying to install is called:
libhid-0.2.12.orig
I've opened it and I have run the programm called configure.
I had the same problem of Gabyx (in a topic in the section linux Programming & Scripting) but I think I've resolved it in the same way suggested by Lakerdonald....

now after I run configure appears:

configure: Using db2man stylesheet: /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksgmltools2/docbook/xsl/html/docbook.xsl
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating src/Makefile
config.status: creating hidparser/Makefile
config.status: creating swig/Makefile
config.status: creating test/Makefile
config.status: creating doc/doxygen.rc
config.status: creating doc/Makefile
config.status: creating doc/man/Makefile
config.status: creating doc/www/Makefile
config.status: creating pkgconfig/libhid.pc
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing depfiles commands

.------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Configuration to be used:
|
|   CPP     : gcc -E
|   CPPFLAGS: -I../include -I../hidparser -DNDEBUG
|   CC      : gcc
|   CFLAGS  : -O2 -Wall -W -Werror
|   CXX     : g++
|   CXXFLAGS: -O2 -Wall -W -Werror
|   LD      : /usr/bin/ld
|   LDFLAGS : 
`------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(I've cutted some pieces before it but I think they were not important.)


now, following the installation instructions, I've typed make

In file included from linux.c:6:

I've reported where it start to have errors...
Now I'm trying to understand where is the problem...can you help me?

[Segfault]

usb.h: No such file or directory

usb.h comes with usblib dev package, it should be also in kernel headers. And kernel sources.

[spec3]

my prof gave to me also a package called
libusb_0.1.12.orig
do you think I might install it before the one I'm trying to install?

[Segfault]

I think it may be just what is needed.

[spec3]

ok.
I've installed libusb_0.1.12.orig and now typing make it find usb.h!
when I installed it I've also installed Doxygen and SWIG (this last one was searched by the the configure file of libhid that I've run before type make but it didn't seem necessary)
now when i run the make of libhid it's a SWIG file that creates problem:

I think that remove SWIG can be a possible way to solve the problem but I don't know how to do it.
Another possibility is to find Python.h but now I don't know where to find it.
Have you something to suggest?

You need Python development package.

[spec3]

but how can I download it?
I've tried with

sudo apt-get install Python

but the terminal says that it's impossible to find it in E:

See your distro documentation how to set up repositories.
If you need help with this describe your setup. What distro, running on virtual machine or not, etc.

[spec3]

ehm I don't know exactly what is a repository, I've read something on wikipedia but I don't have any idea of where and what to search...
on my pc it's installed Kubuntu 10.4 LTS Lucid Lynx.
it's running on my pc (a laptop DELL INSPIRON 1564) in dual boot with windows 7, so not on a virtual machine...

[spec3]

or I can try to download the Python Development Package from the Python official site?
