That’s encouraging. I will continue with installing libusb and then if I have no luck, see if I can grab a working iso of someones server and use that instead.
EDIT
AFAIK libusb is installed already
sudo apt-get install libusb-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libusb-dev is already the newest version (2:0.1.12-30).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Just to note. The “ConsoleWD for Raspberry Pi Setup Instructions” instructions at: HOWTO: ConsoleWD for Raspberry Pi Setup Instructions - Old version need to be updated as the url to obtain libusb is incorrect.
“libusb is a cross-platform user-mode library that provides access to USB devices. The project website is at libusb.info. The old project site libusb.org should not be used.”
