Re: rtl-sdr and gr-osmosdr

Sir: If you look in the place where you built gr-osmosdr, you will find a file called install_manifest.txt which contains where it put all the files. The rtlsdr_source_c.xml and osmosdr_source_c.xml (which are files that describe the sources, both of which produce streams of complex numbers, which is what the naming convention means) are how the gnuradio companion knows how to use those sources. Do a "sudo make uninstall" where you built gr-osmosdr, and then start over with gr-osmosdr. But this time, instead of just running "cmake" with no options, use the command: cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr You "define" (that's what "-D" means) the value "CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX" to be /usr. If you don't define it to be something, it will use the default value of "/usr/local" I have a Web page with partial instructions (it's not intended to be a Linux introduction, although I will do my best to answer specific questions if you have any) and some other stuff on it: http://www.ka8kpn.org/sdr-dongle.html Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, I really detest mailing lists whose default action on a reply is to write directly to the person to whom you are responding rather than to the list. To me, it is optimizing the atypical case and it makes far more sense to optimize for what everyone nearly always wants to do. That is, it may be technically correct, but it is definitely the wrong thing to do. However, I know I've lost that battle, so I'll not mention it again.
