Check the permissions on /dev/ttyUSB0 and make sure the user you're
running the C program as has permissions. You might also have a
look to see if there's an SELinux denial associated with the attempt.
It's not uncommon for udev and/or packagekit and/or SELinux to set up
incorrect permissions or not have a context rule--especially on a
device few people have around to test with (and I doubt a lot of us
have a USB<-->RS485 adapter). :-)
If you have the source to the program you could change the open call to
a non-blocking open and print out the resulting error code:
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
extern int errno;
if ((fdc = open("/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RW | O_NONBLOCK)) < 0)
printf("Can't open ttyUSB0: %s\n", strerror(errno));
You get the idea.
