lee jones slothpuck at gmail.comHello all! Just been trying to compile rtl-sdr ( http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr ) on my linux box but I'm having a few problems. Btw the linux distro is debian running a 64-bit kernel; 3.10-1-amd64. Here's the problem. I can't seem to get rtl-sdr to compile quite right either with the cmake or autotools instructions from the sdr website. I've tried both methods; only one completes (but produces an unstable version) the other version dosen't compile at all. Here's the output I get from trying to build by using cmake - http://slothpuck.no-ip.org/tmp/cmake-build.txt and then with autotools method - http://slothpuck.no-ip.org/tmp/autoconf-build.txt I get a lot of errors with the cmake method with lots of warnings about unused paramaters; the autotools method dosen't even complete. The cmake version does however but appears to be very unstable. If I try to run one of the programs made by rtl-sdr -- the program rtl_tcp with another program such as gqrx, .e.g by starting rtl_tcp in a terminal then run gqrx in another ( http://www.oz9aec.net/index.php/gnu-radio/gqrx-sdr ) I find it causes rtl_tcp to crash - either with a segfault, or with a "worker cond timeout, signal caught exiting!" message (rtl_tcp hung in this case). I do have libusb (both library and dev) and gnuradio installed btw. any thoughts on what might be going wrong at all? Thanks ljones
