Hi,
I guess there is a permission problem accessing the device. Under normal conditions udev is doing the permission stuff when plugging in the device. I have had once the similar issue for own compiled binary mipsbe for mikrotik and tplink devices. Because of the lack of udev is simply altered the permission after plugging the dongle (something like /dev/dvb/adapter[something] perms 755) This made it work afterwards.
Hope this info helps,
Ciao Robert, 73 de oe6rke

I want to use a rtl-dvb-stick connected to a fritz-box-dsl-router via tcp. Software running on the fritzbox is freetz (www.freetz.org) and cpu-architecture is mips. So I created a makefile and compiled the software without errors. But when I start the software (usb-dongle connected) it throws a usb_claim_interface error -5. rtl_test recognizes the type of stick correctly but throws identical error message. So I started rtl_test with strace - here you can find the output:

Any tipps for solving the problem are welcome ;)
