more hamlib and gMFSK problems

more hamlib and gMFSK problems

[N5NW Marty]

Thanks for the earlier help.  I think I'm making progress.  I think the
issue is with the hamlib install, although some of the programs like
rigctl run ok.  When I ./configure --enable-hamlib | make | make install
gMFSK, I get the following:

checking for libgnomeui-2.0 hamlib... Package hamlib was not found in
the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `hamlib.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'hamlib' found

configure: error: Library requirements (libgnomeui-2.0 hamlib) not met;
consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your
libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
--end of quote--

Config without --enable-hamlib gives a good install, but will not
install hamlib:

checking PACKAGE_LIBS... -pthread -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/usr/X11R6/lib
-lgnomeui-2 -lSM -lICE -lbonoboui-2 -lxml2 -lpthread -lz -lgnomecanvas-2
-lgnome-2 -lpopt -lart_lgpl_2 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0

-lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lm -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0
configure: Disabling hamlib support

--end quote--

Apparently my hamlib is not installed correctly.  It is in the directory
/usr/local/lib with a bunch of rig-specific hamlib files, and a
subdirectory called pkgconfig with the files fftw3.pc and hamlib.pc in
it.  I did see a message in the archives that suggested editing
/etc/ld.so.conf to add /usr/local/lib and then running ldconfig, which I
did prior to installing gMFSK.

By the way, the behavior is identical in 0.5 and 0.6beta3, if that
matters (my deduction is that this indicates a problem with the hamlib
install, not gMFSK).

Any ideas on where I'm missing the boat, or what I might do to correct?

You should probably use:

 ./configure --enable-hamlib && make && make install

instead.

You may have to copy

    /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/hamlib.pc

to

    /usr/lib/pkgconfig/hamlib.pc

...or symlink the directories.

Hope this helps.

It is installed correctly but in a non-standard place (/usr/local).
You have already configured the dynamic linker to look under /usr/local
but you have to give pkg-config a hint too. To do that see what
"man pkg-config" says about PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

RE: more hamlib and gMFSK problems

[Marty N5NW]

Where is the standard installation location, and how do I get hamlib to
install there?  I think I'd rather try that than to direct each of the apps
that use it to the non-standard location.

RE: more hamlib and gMFSK problems

[w9ya]

I had thought I covered this once already in this thread, but perhaps it
did not get through o.k.

for hamlib do this :

  ./configure --prefix=/usr

for gmfsk do this (or soemthing similar) :

 ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc  --localstatedir=/var\
 --enable-hamlib

Between the two make sure you or you package management updates the
library confs. by issuing this (generally as root);

ldconfig

Have fun with this;

Searching for docs - all links bad...

[Dave Stubbs]

Hello all,

Anyone know where there is a version of the HAM HOWTO that is less than 
7 years old?

Thanks,

The HAM HOWTO is obsolete. We now have http://radio.linux.org.au

F6FBB on Debian question

[Dave Stubbs]

Hello all,

This may be a dumb question, but I've searched all the docs I can find 
and don't seem to get anywhere.  The FBB documentation mentions 
INSTALL.SH for setting up initial parameters.  I installed FBB using the 
Debian packages, and I cannot find INSTALL.SH anywhere, nor is it in the 
file list for the package.  The BBS works quite well, as far as 
accepting NETROM and telnet connections, except that I can't seem to set 
security levels and actually get SYSOP access.  The Documentation 
mentions that a file called INIT.SYS gets created, but from what I can 
tell, the /etc/ax25/fbb.conf file seems to have SOME of the contents 
that are supposed to be in INIT.SYS, and there is no INIT.SYS file.

Am I chasing a wild goose here?  Or is there some modification in the 
Debian-packaged version that makes this unneccesary?

Thanks for your help,

Dave

You need to run /usr/sbin/fbb. This is actually a shell script, which 
asks questions and sets up a fbb.conf and port.sys file. Next it runs 
the actual daemon (xffbd). The script is easy to read, see also 'man fbb'.

Re: more hamlib and gMFSK problems

[Bob Nielsen]

I think that you should be able to make hamlib visible to any apps by
adding the non-standard location to /etc/ld.so.conf and running
ldconfig.

On the other hand, if you are running Debian, it is easier to just run
'apt-get install hamlib2' (thanks Joop!)
