It looks like you are using a BSD-like system, based on the /dev/ugen0 name.
Which OS is it?

I thought we had added better error reporting for permissions errors, but that
is the most likely cause of this problem. (Knowing the OS will help us figure
out the right solution.) You also don't need the "-x explore"
switch since the MGE (now Eaton) models should be completely supported.

Hi Charles, merci pour ta r?ponse,

You are right, I'm using FreeBSD 6.1 (x86) (I didn't have the time to
upgrade yet).
I'm using libusb-0.1.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Edouard
