    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.
