Since it is not mentioned in this thread yet: have you checked for
correct permissions?
The user running the program needs to have correct permissions to access
the device. This is a very common problem with usb devices other than
the most common devices like keyboards, mice and so on.

A quick test to check if this is the problem is to try to run the
program as the root user (example: sudo program ...) if it works, then
you most likely have a permissions problem.

And then you get to fix that via udevadm and friends...
