I don't know anything about the device you are trying to use, but I hope the following comments may guide you to a solution...

Looking at the drivers download page for the device I can only see releases for i686 or x86 processors - these are unlikely to be compatible with the arm processor in the RPi.

Maybe the ccid utility would be applicable? The support pages say that your reader is supported, and the libraries can be installed from the standard Raspbian repositories by means of sudo apt-get install libccid
