6.27 won't start

I downloaded and installed Calibre (twice) and tried to run it. This is what the terminal tells me:

Code:

link  hasn't been detected!
link  hasn't been detected!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/init.py", line 48, in <module>
  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 134, in main

  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/devices/scanner.py", line 35, in __init__
RuntimeError: DeviceScanner requires libusb1 to work.

Hmm! Any ideas what could be wrong?

calibre-parrallel is running!

Ubuntu 9.10 here

You need to install libusb-1.0-0. Some changes were made to the device detection code on Linux and that was introduced as a new dependency.

Thanks! Working fine now! Shouldn't this be mentioned somewhere?

It's in the changelog and the error "RuntimeError: DeviceScanner requires libusb1 to work" is pretty clear.
