    Why FC 3? FC 3 extremely old version (Released around 2003 , I think) . Kernel is also pretty old.
    Please get new release may be Fedora 15 or 14 .

    Try "yum search libusb" and check for the package , dev packages end with -devel.

    the problem still remain

    I got
    DEBIAN 4.0
    KERNEL 2.6.18-5-486
    running on VWMARE workstation

    with an ups connected

    libusb-0.1-4 0.1.12-16 installed

    usb vendor id is recognized correctly

    when I start the deamon in debug, it says:

    unbind kernel from device: usb_detach_kernel_driver_np
    Error, could not detach kernel driver from interface 0: 61 No data available


    In the same PC I got Fedore, where it works perfectly

    RE: Error 'could not detach kernel driver from interface 0: 61 No data available'

    The Fedora kernel has modules to manage the USB drive, and the Debian kernel needs this to be installed in addition.

    Manage the Debian kernel modules - read this:
    Debian Linux Kernel Handbook - Managing the kernel modules

    If you get lost in the changes, try with another kernel (without uninstalling the old one) - for example the last but one Debian kernel.

    At boot-load hit several spaces and select from the menu the newly installed kernel. If the system works 'without remarks' delete later on the 'bad' kernel.


    RE: The package installers
    The package installer in Fedora (by default) is yum, and in Debian - it is apt-get.
    Both of the systems have usually also the RPM package manager of the Desktop.

    Actually you can install in addition yum in Debian ($ apt-get install yum), and apt-get in Fedora ($ yum install apt-get), if this will make you to feel more comfortable - but actually it is unnecessary.
