As root, try

modprobe fuse

This should create /dev/fuse. If it does not work for you, post the
error message (if any) and the output of "uname -a".

If it does work then you can add "fuse" (without the quotes, on its own
line) to /etc/modules to have the module loaded automatically at every
boot.
