The reason she's getting the older build is because she's running an old and unsupported version of Ubuntu (Oneiric 11.10). Using the PPA (via apt-get) _is_ the proper and preferred way for Ubuntu users to receive the builds.
If you still get a failure, at least you can say you've tried the latest build.
Nothing has changed in the FT-60 driver or supporting code in a very long time, so I do not expect any difference by upgrading to the latest version. I expect that the problem is, as others have noted, related to the cable and/or USB hardware being used here.
Thanks Dan, I, somehow, missed any replies that you or any of the usual experts had made to her. Thought her message yesterday was the first and no one else had replied. I'll go back in the wood work. Fred
