Linux users and USB3 boards

Due to the newer The latest version of libokFrontPanel.so libraries, needed so libary, which is required for USB3 support, are linked to libudev0 and Ubuntu is linked to libudev0. However,  Ubuntu 14.04 and onwards onward only supply libudev1 we're . For this reason, we are supplying both it  old and the older, USB2 only, library files. The latter is the default one located on the Resources/DLLs folder. The USB3-capable libraries are under Resourcesnew copies of the library. The old, USB2 version is located in Resources/DLLs/ libokFrontPanel.so. The USB3 version is located in Resources/DLLs/Linux-usb3/ libokFrontPanel.so. To use them just copy them to the executable folder.

If you're using Ubuntu 14 and want to test USB3 support without downgrading your OS there is a workaround consisting on creating a softlink to libudev1 mimicking the libudev0 path. This can be done by the command "sudo ln -s /lib/[i386 or x86_64]-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/[i386 or x86_64]-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0", using i386 or x86_64 depending on your architecture. Keep in mind that this is a very hackish approach and can cause unknown inestabilities instabilities on your system.
