I have problem then i try to build last stable version OpenOCD on kubuntu 14.04.

Then i configure project with j-link support, system returns error with libusb 0.1 and libusb 1.x, although this libraries installed.

May be anyone solved similar problem. Output of configure and dpkg as follows:

Hello astrodreamer, did you solve this yet?

I've not built OpenOCD on Ubuntu yet, but on my (ARM) Ubuntu system there is a libusb-1.0-0.dev available as well as libusb.dev. You might check whether you have something similar on the amd64 platform.

hsuterl is right.

I have debian system but requirements are same, libusb-1.0-0-dev is required. libusb-dev is available but not installed in my system, libusb-1.0-0-dev is installed. I can compile openocd 0.8 in my system.

Did you solve the problem?If not,try to install libusb-devel and libusb1-devel

Hi guys,

I am facing the exact same problem:

"error: libusb-1.x or libusb-0.1 is required for the Segger J-Link JTAG Programmer"
I have run "sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0.0-dev".
When I run it again I get "libusv-1.0.0-dev is already the newest version."

Could anyone please help? I have been struggling for days now

Thank you in advance!

Hi guys,
I had also been spending some hours to get this running,
on my system (Debian 7.4) it was required to install the make, libtool and pkg-config package like it is recommended in the README.
After that the configure has found the usblib.

hope this will help you too

My only Ubuntu is 32 bit embedded, so I don't know if this will help or not. 64 bit libs tend to use /usr/lib64/, while 32 bit libs tend to use /usr/lib/. My 64 bit is fedora, so I can't really look this up, but perhaps something is looking specifically in 32 or 64 bit locations. strace with grep might help.

This is an oldish thread and the OP has probably solved the problem by now. But Google still has it high in the search results, so for the benefit of others:

You need the dev version of libusb1, which is not installed by default. Try
