+1 i'd also like to know such that this will work again https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPhone_Tethering for use with raspberry pi

in the meantime i'm installing build tools and will attempt to get this to work. @digitaltrousers did you have any luck?

thank you

what about using repo to manage the latest libimobiledevice?
run command repo init -u https://bitbucket.org/iptux/imobiledevice -b master
and run repo sync you get all the source,
and run sudo make install, then the latest libimobiledevice installed to system

thanks @iptux and @digitaltrousers for the replies -- I managed to get everything installed and working -- except for network tethering -- I asked in IRC about that and I was told that it's not supported in iOS yet.

I documented everything here: https://gist.github.com/keyvanfatehi/8922430

Hope to see iOS 7 tethering soon!

EDIT:

After mounting with ifuse, a new interface shows up when you ifconfig -a -- you can bring this online and a blue tether bar will show up. I am still trying to figure out how to get it to be able to speak to the outside world, but that seems to be an error on my side!

Just updating now that I was successful in tethering my iOS 7.0.4 device on Raspbian ! Gist has been updated: https://gist.github.com/keyvanfatehi/8922430

Thanks so much!

If you don't want to mess with system packages, do not pass a "--prefix" during the configure step of the sources. This should install everything into "/usr/local/" by default and keep everything separate.
Once you've updated system packages to latest versions, you should run "sudo make uninstall" in each source directory to remove the "source install".
However such a setup is a headache for many people as you're not sure which library version is really used now so it's not really recommended unless you know what you do.
The best way to install libimobiledevice is always using pre-build package followed by directly compiling sources.
