ccs6 beta 4 unable to access Tiva Launchpad on CentOS 6.5

Attempted to use load_ti to load a program into the Tvia Launchpad, rather than starting a debug session in the CCS GUI. This results in the following being reported on the CentOS 6.5 64-bit system:

I was able to get the CCS6 beta 4 debugger to work with the Tiva Launchpad by:

1) On the CentOS 6.5 64-bit system as root:

yum install libusb1.i686
ln -s /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so

ln -s /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so

The issues are:

a) Why did the ccsv6 beta 4 installer dependency checker not report that the libusb-1.0.so was missing?

[On the CentOS 6.5 64-bit system numerous 32-bit libraries were initially reported as missing by the CCS6 installer, which were installed before installing CCS]

b) Why did the ccsv6 beta 4 debugger fail to report that the libusb-1.0.so dynamic library couldn't be loaded?

Chester,

I managed to get CentOS 6.5 setup on one of my netbooks.  Took a while to get a LiveCD image that would install.

I installed the 64bit version.

Here is what I have done so far:

yum upgrade (updates a large number of packges)

yum install redhat-lsb:i686 (had to do this to get the CCS installer to run as it needs a bunch of 32bit libs)

I then ran the CCSv6 GA installer as user.  It seems to find the libusb dependency ok now.  There were a number of improvements made to the checker during beta.  Below is what it finds missing for me.  I apologize for the terrible picture but the screen capture program on my install just was not working.

I will now try to resolve those and then proceed with the install.

I will update the linux install instructions wiki topic and I will also follow up with the install team to see why the dependency check passes after installing libusb.i686 as it should not.
