Ah, I wasn't aware of that. I've been using Linux Mint (currently 18.1) which is Ubuntu-based and works well. One challenge with straight Debian is how slowly updates filter through the system. Mint, I think, is usually a bit more current than even Ubuntu.
But there is a separate issue at the moment with rtlsdr installed via build-gnuradio. I'm hoping that will be resolved soon.

Unfortunately, OP25 doesn't run on Debian without making (drastic?) changes, and is why only Ubuntu 14.04 is "officially" supported. I also prefer Debian, and ended up adding a full second hard drive (actually SSD) to the machine in question to dual boot Ubuntu to be able to run OP25.
I ran into the same or similar error as you, and I believe I determined OP25 needs a newer version of WxWidgets than could be installed in Debian.

I wish that build-gnuradio script worked for Debian 8. I spent the

evening yesterday installing gnuradio and op25 on a raspberry pi.
Looked
like everything was good, till I fired up the scope tool:

Thanks, flkmrz! I recently posted something similar on my blog (https://blog.febo.com) and I'm going to edit those posts based on
some
of what you've said below.
I strongly prefer using the "build-gnuradio" script (http://sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio) to build the system from sources. It requires very little user intervention, makes sure you
have
all the required .deb or .rpm packages installed, and gives you the latest version of the code base. But as of right now (28 June 2017)
the
rtlsdr components don't build properly due to upstream code changes.
I
have a good feeling that it will be fixed very soon, but over the
last
week I've been tearing my hair out.
