Also installed libusb packages from repos. roland at roland-I5-HP-Compaq-8300-Elite-SFF-PC:~$ ls /usr/include/libusb-1.0/ libusb.h When typing in the editor and compiling, libusb.h is not found. Other headers from other directories in /usr/include are found, but not libusb.h. If I force QtCreator to look at it via INCLUDEPATH +=/usr/include/libusb-1.0 in the .pro file, all is well. I assume there is a bug when it comes to directories with "." in the name. Just passing this along.

Indeed, it seems like "libusb-1.0" entry is missing from autocomplete list when one starts typing

#include <libusb-1.0/libusb.h>

Feel free to create a bug report on this
