Fixed by running

"sudo rm -f /opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib"
"sudo port clean libusb"
"sudo port install libusb +universal"

Basically the Mac install instructions need to be updated and should include a 
warning that the short install may leave files around that will need to be 
deleted before installing with port.

Hi guys, after

"sudo rm -f /opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib"
"sudo port clean libusb"
"sudo port install libusb +universal"

I have this outcome:

--->  Activating libusb @1.0.9_0+universal

Error: Processing of port libusb failed

Should I force activation?

thanks in advance,
