I just wanted a tool to easily monitor my usb devices, and that should be lsusb<\/a> . In Gentoo it’s inside usbutils package, but when I tried to emerge it I got a ton of errors like that:<\/p>\n

\n<\/code><\/p>\n

The solution was to edit \/usr\/src\/linux\/include\/linux\/usb.h and comment out lines 4 and 5:
\n
\n4 \/*#include \n5 #include <\/linux>*\/\n<\/linux><\/code><\/p>\n

Then I emerged usbutils just fine…uncommented the previous lines…and everything is working properly:<\/p>\n
