Usually to use the library you need to install the dev version.

Try

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

This should work:

# apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

First,

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

updatedb && locate libusb.h.

Second, replace <libusb.h> with <libusb-1.0/libusb.h>.

update:

don't need to change any file.just add this to your Makefile.

`pkg-config libusb-1.0 --libs --cflags`

its result is that -I/usr/include/libusb-1.0 -lusb-1.0

Here is what worked for me.

Install the userspace USB programming library development files

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
sudo updatedb && locate libusb.h

The path should appear as (or similar)

/usr/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h

Include the header to your C code

#include <libusb-1.0/libusb.h>

Compile your C file

gcc -o example example.c -lusb-1.0

"I need to install it to the folder of my C program." Why?

Include usb.h:

#include <usb.h>

and remember to add -lusb to gcc:

gcc -o example example.c -lusb

This work fine for me.

you can creat symlink to your libusb after locate it in your system :

sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusb-1.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so.0.1.0 

sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusb-1.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so
