[flashrom] Compiling from source on Chromebook:GalliumOS - can't get libusb?

[Anders Nelson]

Ohhh my god you're right - when I call the program as ./flashrom it runs
now!

I am still getting an error though it's new:

===

chrx at chrx:~/Github/flashrom$ ./flashrom -p ft2232_spi
flashrom v0.9.9-86-ge1a960e on Linux 4.9.4-galliumos-braswell (x86_64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).
Unable to open FTDI device: -3 (device not found).
Error: Programmer initialization failed.

===

The FTDI device enumerates as /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1... Is it
necessary to add a rule to udev or something to get Flashrom to find it?
