forget rpm, just install libusb by downloading the tarball at http://www.libusb.org/ configure make make install
just my two cents
I'd recommend avoiding the libusbx tarball which has been linked from there and instead getting the http://git.libusb.org/libusb.git code.

As far as I can tell, CentOS 6.4 uses libusb 0.1.12, released in August 2010. This is over three years old! A *lot* of bug fixes and improvements happen in three years.
Age has nothing to do with it.
So you're saying no useful work was done on libusb in three years?
It's complicated, but yes libusb.git code hasn't changed in about a year. I expect it to work reliably, and indeed one or two bugs have been fixed since the 1.0.9 release. (Before you say it, no, I can not simply make a 1.0.10 release. As I wrote, it is complicated. If you'd like to help out feel free to let me know and I'll explain until your ears fall off.. :)
Granted I haven't looked at the commit history but it seems a bit unlikely.
Please do look into the facts (it's very easy) rather than speculating.
