FTDI Questions

[John Battle <jobattle@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I have a couple of questions regarding libftdi/libusb on Linux 64 Bit 
(Kernel 3.0) Ubuntu 11.10.
I am attempting to communicate with a FT2232H and would like some advice:

1. How can I tell which library versions I have installed on a system?

2. Can I have more than one version installed at the same time?

3. I need to communicate in the high speed mode.  Is there any advantage 
to installing libftdi-1.0 or can I just stick to ther version that got 
installed with the os installation.
4. Is there a binary of 1.0 or do I have to build it from source (I had 
trouble getting it to build)
5. How can I most easily test to see that I am communicating with the 
FTDI chip?  Can I send a file and looking at the chip pins with a scope 
or something like that?
6. What is the best way to get data into the chip at a rate of around 
20MBPS?  Serial or parallel or does it matter?
Thanks
