Install on OpenSUSE LINUX

[Andrew Rich]

Hello

Need a hand

Installing gpredict and gqrx on openSUSE LINUX which has quite a good repository

I have GNURADIO installed and also GQRX but I just can’t pick up the AirSpy Mini

I notice that the GNURADIO is missing the source for the rtf-sdr

Maybe thats missing - I shall look see

Hello Andrew,

It sounds like the OpenSUSE version of GnuRadio is incomplete.  I had similar issues with the GnuRadio versions available for Centos so I had to compile things up from scratch to get the Airspy supported with Gqrx.  I'm happy to say it works very well.  I have this complete labyrinth of compiling steps documented here (with full RPM .spec files included).  I would start here:

Hello Andrew,

Where does Gqrx say it supports "airspy"?  The issue is that the Airspy hardware is usually supported via the osmocom plugin support within GnuRadio.  It's also possible you might be getting support via the SoapyOsmo plugin but that's not very common from what I've observed.  When I start gqrx, I see the following:
--
$ gqrx
linux; GNU C++ version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4); Boost_105400; UHD_003.005.003-0-unknown

If you don't see the word "airspy" when you start gqrx from the command line, you'll have to recompile GnuRadio and the related plugins yourself.  This is mentioned in my document.

are you sure you have added the https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hamradio/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/ repository and enabled it?

have you installed the gr-osmosdr and rtl-sdr packages (in addition to the gnuradio package)?
