Some issues I had…
When trying to compile opensync, there was no opensync/opensync-xml.h. I found this and it fixed my issue. http://blackberryforums.pinstack.com/f158/tethered_modem_support_in_linux-40533/
Basically, I created a file /usr/include/opensync-1.0/opensync/opensync-xml.h, and put copied and pasted this
