Raymond,

I have Linux Mint 16 Mate here. I'm pretty sure the downloaded driver isn't necessary. Mint has built-in support for the FTDI chip.

Do all of the following in "terminal"

To install the stable version of CHIRP, follow the instructions here:
http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux

To install the daily-build version of CHIRP, follow the instructions here:
http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download

In both cases you will have to add your user to the "dialout" group.
sudo usermod -a -G dialout <your user name> (replace <your user name> with your user name)

I am presently using Win7hp, Chirp and FTDI cable and everything works great.
However, I am learning to use Linux 16 / Mint with the Cinnamon Desktop.
I have downloaded the FTDI Linux 0.4.16 driver and some instructions I don't understand.
The problem is, I have not a clue of where to go from there.
Is there anyone out there that can help me get this driver installed and etc.?
