Couldn't claim Interface

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, 

        I just bought an Olympus VN-3100-PC Digital Voice Recorder.
Unfortunately, the installation of your odvr driver fails on my Ubuntu 8.10
box. I was trying to install the .deb package featured on your homepage,
but the installation always crashes when "Reloading Kernel Manager". 

        Anyway, since the files were installed properly, I decided to open
a terminal and try "ovr -d", which ended up in the error "Failed to open
Olympus device: couldn't claim interface". The device is proerly connected
and does show a flashing "PC" text.

        What could the problem be?

        Greetings,

        Aaron

Please, show your 'lsusb', when your device is connected.
