A driver and GUI for Nike+ Sportband

ps2.
Interesting enough, I tried VirtualBox with USB setting, and it works just fine. But the information was as comsport suggested, so there might be some relation anyway? I wonder, if I need the driver at all, and I think I can just put the information in VirtualBox usb setting by myself.

ps1.
I just found it doesn't run correctly. The error message:
username$ comsport -h
*** stack smashing detected ***: comsport terminated
Segmentation fault

Googled the error message, but I don't know what to do! Can this be a problem caused by checkinstall???
I found a candidate for the solution here:
"I have been dealing with the stack smashing issue for a while with nvclock. I finally was able to compile a version of nvclock 0.8b2 with the "-fno-stack-protector" cflag that works for me every time. I did this by running the configure script and then manually editing all of the Makefile's in the tree and adding "-fno-stack-protector" (without the quotes) to all of the CC= lines."
I haven't dealt with this kind of thing. I'll wait some time to do this. This is quite tiring...

Nike+ Sportband is a good device for tracking jogging, but unfortunately, Nike seems not interested to make a Linux driver. But we have an alternative user made driver, you can grab the driver, comsport, here. Besides I had to install a dependency, i encountered following error for another dependency:

"Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix." I really don't know what was the problem, but I googled the error message and found the problem was not for the program which designated by the error but the developer package for the program (the name of the package will be "theprogramname-dev").

Following instruction is taken from here. (I recommend to use aptitude than apt-get, and checkinstall than make install.)

The best way to solve your problem is:
sudo -s
apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install libusb++-dev
apt-get install libusb-dev
tar -xzf file.tar.gz
./configure
make
make install
now copy file 90-sportband.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/
restart udev or reinit your pc.
now you have installed your driver.
The GUI needs Java Runtime, do:
apt-get install sun-java6-jre
You can run de GUI doing: java -jar file.jar
