This error means one of three things. The first possibility is that the driver 
you're using doesn't support Bluetooth I/O. The second is that you disabled 
Bluetooth support when configuring. The third is that you haven't installed the 
Bluetooth development environment so brltty couldn't include Bluetooth support 
when compiling.

So the driver does support Bluetooth. I also suspect that you didn't disable 
Bluetooth support. That leaves us with the third possibility, i.e. that you 
haven't installed the Bluetooth development environment. That's probably the 
bluez-libs-devel package on your system. Try "yum install bluez-libs-devel", 
and then reconfigure and rebuild brltty.
