RSP2 with Linux Mint

Post by WA2ZKD » Fri Dec 29, 2017 3:36 pm

Just got my RSP2. Tested it on my wife's W10 machine, so know it works with SDRuno. I'd like to use it on my Desktop, which runs Linux Mint 18 (Ubuntu 16.04). I thought I just has to run the shell script SDRplay_RSP...run and then start Cubic but I can't find SDRplay in the availble SDR choices. Looking at the out of the API stuff I see:

SoapySDR init..
API Version: v0.5.2
ABI Version: v0.5-2
Install root: ./////////
Loading modules...
[ERROR] SoapySDR::loadModule(.//////////lib/SoapySDR/modules0.5-2/libsdrPlaySupport.so)
dlopen() failed: libmirsdrapi-rsp.so.1.95: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Available factories...airspy, audio, bladerf, hackrf, null, redpitaya,

It's looking for 1.95, but I see that 2.11 is what installed.

What am I doing wrong?

Where did you get CubicSDR/SoapySDR from?

That looks like a very old version. Our non-Windows flow shows you how to build SoapySDR, SoapySDRPlay and CubicSDR for Linux (in that order)...

I downloaded everything from your site. It may not be clear you have to build things in every case.

https://cubicsdr.com/

that suggests that the Cubic I used is the newest

That link is from your site

Whatever SoapySDR you are using, it is an old exectuble (it's showing v0.5 and using an out of date API) - so if you use the non-Windows workflow document it will show you how to build SoapySDR and SoapySDRPlay (in that order) to get CubicSDR working with the RSP
