I don't think you'll have to install anything on linux, except maybe libusb, which is pretty trivial on most distributions (check the box next to libusb in the package manager or whatever).

Does the binary on the webpage not work?

Johnv:
Well, libusb has instructions but I cannot seem to get it installed still.

Here's the instructions so you can see for yourself.
Simple install procedure
========================

  % gzip -cd libusb-0.1.12.tar.gz | tar xvf -  # unpack the sources
  % cd libusb-0.1.12                           # change to the toplevel directory
  % ./configure                             # run the `configure' script
  % make                                    # build libusb
  [ Become root if necessary ]
  % make install                            # install libusb

And as for the binary, I was under the impression that I needed libusb installed to use it, because it doesn't work otherwise.

cool_walking_:
You shouldn't need to compile libusb yourself.  There should be a package in your distro's repositories already.

Look in your menu for something like "synaptic" or "add/remove packages" or "adept".  Run that program, and libusb should be in the list of software you can install.

EDIT:

You didn't state which Linux distribution you are using (Knoppix, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, etc.), so I assumed something Debian-based (the first 3 I listed are).

If you still have problems, this forum isn't for Linux questions, so it's better to ask at a Linux-oriented forum.

Johnv:
Yeah, sorry about that, you guys have given me the information I need so far, so for Linux I'll just head to that site.

And I am using Knoppix, it's pretty nice.

Johnv:
Well, I decided to install Ubuntu since that already has libusb installed, but now I'm stuck at getting the command to work.

sudo: ./e200tool: command not found

So I'll just keep messing around until I get this right. I have a feeling that I'm pretty close to getting it anyway.
