I have a fairly recent version of the Developer tools as my laptop is only a few months old and i installed xcode more recently.
Secondly, I have now managed to install libusb-legacy using MacPorts and Make now works for Device::USB and it compiles! WOO! .. or so it seems..
However, on execution of the dump_usb.pl script included with Device::USB it becomes apparent that it has not compiled correctly! gah, i cant win.
The following is ./configure > make > sudo make install > ./dump_usb.pl
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
