Comment 119 for bug 285089

I do have Validity Inc. fingerprint reader VFS451 (id=138a:0007) and use Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.

I installed all dependencies required for compilation (libusb-1.0.0-dev, libnss3-dev,...)

I downloaded: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hadess/libfprint-0.3.0.tar.bz2 and uncompressed it
I donwloaded both patches

inside dir where previous tar file was uncompressed I applied the first patch:
$ patch -p1 < ../libfprint-0.3.0-vfs101.patch

and applied second patch:
$ patch -p1 < ../libfprint-0.3.0-vfs101.v5.patch

afterwards I started configuration and compilation:
$ autoreconf && ./configure && make

compilation finished fine and I started install
$ sudo make install

installation installed libraries and I manually copied all libraries into 64 arch lib dir:
$ sudo cp /usl/lib/libfprint.* /usr/lib64/

I started:
$ sudo fprint_demo

NOTHING!!! IT DOES NOT WORK
