SDRPlay on Xubuntu 15.10
Soapy is installed correctly and recognizes SDRPlay plugged into the USB port.

GQRX:
GQRX is installed and runs sort of but gets an error on the USB port, with or without the -DENABLE_NONFREE=TRUE build option for gr-osmosdr.

Warning: libusb_claim_interface() -6
Error: kernel driver not active - should have been able to claim interface!

and not even SoapySDRUtil can communicate with the SDRPlay until I unplug the device are replug it back in.
tried fixing this before without success SDRPlay Community post: "SDRPlay GQRX gr-osomsdr (I think)"
CubicSDR:
I am unable to install CubicSDR which appears to be the favorite. Was finally able to successfully install liquid-des, the wxWidgets, but get a whole host of compilation errors during the make process for CubicSDR.
as an example of an error:
In file included from /home/ted/CubicSDR/src/demod/DemodulatorPreThread.h:8:0,
from /home/ted/CubicSDR/src/demod/DemodulatorInstance.h:8,

/home/ted/CubicSDR/src/demod/DemodulatorWorkerThread.h:30:5: error: ‘msresamp_crcf’ does not name a type
msresamp_crcf iqResampler;
As there are 3 products involved who you going to call: SDRPlay, GQRX, and CubicSDR I'd like direction as to how to proceed to get any 2 to work together.
