SoapySDDRPlay on Raspberry Pi - libusb error

Hi all,

I'm trying to run SoapySDRPlay on RPi, and getting this:

1) SoapySDRUtil --info
######################################################
## Soapy SDR -- the SDR abstraction library
######################################################

Lib Version: v0.6.1-g285e72aa
API Version: v0.6.0
ABI Version: v0.6
Install root: /usr/local
Search path: /usr/local/lib/SoapySDR/modules0.6
Module found: /usr/local/lib/SoapySDR/modules0.6/libsdrPlaySupport.so
Loading modules... done
Available factories...null, sdrplay

2) SoapySDRUtil --probe
######################################################
## Soapy SDR -- the SDR abstraction library
######################################################

Probe device
SoapySDRUtil: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libmirsdrapi-rsp.so.2.10: undefined symbol: libusb_get_port_number

So, nothing works.
libusb-1.0-0-dev is already installed.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

That sounds like something has updated libusb beyond the build that is released on the RPi image (unless it's been updated recently?). Have you tried re-running the RPi API installer?

Is your starting point our RPi image download or have you used a stock OS image - iss it Raspbian?

Best regards,

Thanks for the answer.
I'm using standard OS image on RPi2 (maybe RPi3 only supported?).

Will reinstall all and try again today evening.

I tested it again on the second RPi.

New Raspberry Pi3 - all works ok. Don't know yet why it does not work on RPi2 though. Maybe it makes sense to do clean install and rebuild all stuff again.

You could try building/installing libusb 1.0.19 or libusb 1.0.20 from http://libusb.info/
