SCardEstablishContext: Service not available












6















I installed the following packages:




  • libusb-dev

  • libusb++-0.1-4c2

  • libccid

  • pcscd

  • libpcsclite1

  • libpcsclite-dev

  • List item

  • libpcsc-perl

  • pcsc-tools


But when I send the pcsc_scan command I received the below output :



root@bt:/# pcsc_scan
PC/SC device scanner
V 1.4.16 (c) 2001-2009, Ludovic Rousseau <ludovic.rousseau@free.fr>
Compiled with PC/SC lite version: 1.5.3
SCardEstablishContext: Service not available.
root@bt:/#


Why?



Note: I use BackTrack5
