AFAIK, the .la files are only used by libtool when 
compiling/linking against a library. They don't interfere
during normal operation.

Do you have a /proc/bus/usb entry, ie. is the usb file system
mounted? (mount | grep usb)
You may have to load some usb modules first. I'm not sure how
it works on SuSE, but on RH you can do it like this (as root):

     modprobe usbcore
     mount -t usbdevfs usbdevfs /proc/bus/
     modprobe usb-uhci

Normally this is done at boot time.
