FTDI FT232R not mount to system
Hi,
I am a newbie in Linux. Sorry if this is not the right forum to raise this question.
I just installed Fedora 9 Kernel 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 onto an AMD system.
I have the FTDI D2XX driver 0.4.15
I am following the FTDI instruction to gunzip, tar, cp libftd2xx.so.0.4.15 /usr/local/lib,
make symbolic links, add line to /etc/fstab
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults,mode=0666 0 0
But when I remounted all in fstab file, there was an error message
mount: none already mounted or /proc/bus/usb busy
I have tried to plug in the FTDI device first before mounting and tried to put the vendor
default VID=0403 / PID=6006 in the device hoping to get it working. But so far I don't know where the device has already been recognized (enumerated) by the system or not.
I have no luck on the USBVIEW installation either. It has failed dependencies:
gtk+ >= 1.2.3 is needed by usbview-1.0-1.i386
libgdk-1.2.so.0 is needed by usbview-1.0-1.i386
libglib-1.2.so.0 is needed by usbview-1.0-1.i386
libgmodule-1.2.so.0 is needed by usbview-1.0-1.i386
libgtk-1.2.so.0 is needed by usbview-1.0-1.i386
Would someone please tell me how to solve the FTDI installation problem?
I am really a newbie, for sure in Linux.
thanks

Try to determine whether the system has enumerated the device. "lsusb" and "dmesg" should help.
