make error with smart card reader driver install

Question

I purchased a smart card reader, zoweetek 12026-1, for which i will need to install pcsc and ccid drivers. I have successfully install pcsc-lite-1.8.6 but when i tried to install ccid-1.4.5-alcor i got the following error during ./configure.

Both drivers were downloaded from the zoweetek website

 ./configure 

 bash: ./configure: Permission denied

which i "solved" by chmod +x configure

But when I ran make I got the following error

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/matt/9540-V2/ccid-1.4.5.1 alcor/examples'  
  CC     scardcontrol-scardcontrol.o

And as a consequence of this, make install didn't work either.

I tried to find a newer one (mainly on GitHub) but didn't and since I'm not even sure about what the error message means, I thought it would be better to ask before I start to messing up my Ubuntu installation.

requested lsusb -t output

installed the suggested package, but i recieved the following error msg in the terminal:

Gdk-Message: Window 0x56282676daf0 is a temporary window without parent, application will not be able to position it on screen.

seems like two times the same messages.. which i indeed get after running cardpeek only once!

Can you please [edit] your post with the output of `lsusb -t`? This will tell us what kind of smart card reader you have. Chances is it's supported by some package in Ubuntu. — vidarlo, Dec 22 '17 at 19:28
Okay, so it's not claimed. Can you try `sudo apt install cardpeek pcscd libpcsclite1 libccid` and then run cardpeek to see if your reader is detected? — vidarlo, Dec 22 '17 at 21:35
A good tip is to always try the packages from repositories before building from source. Repositories are kept updated by the Ubuntu team. — vidarlo, Dec 23 '17 at 11:34
i understand, just wasn't aware of a package being available. should've looked though. anyways i do get a terminal error message. the app replies with the following: [i] Possibly identified card () :> Belgium Electronic ID card, which is correct. and it says that even when i pick another scripit from the analyzer drop down menu. I do not get to see any info on the card though, nor do i get a request for the pincode with which it is protected. the terminal gives the error i edited into the question. — Matthieu Kints van, Dec 23 '17 at 11:40
Please make a new question on how to use smartcards in Ubuntu. — vidarlo, Dec 23 '17 at 11:42
i will do just so. but first i will do some investigation myself. no need to ask if i can self educate ;) thanks a lot for your help! — Matthieu Kints van, Dec 23 '17 at 17:09
