installing RTL-SDR

Thu Jun 22, 2017 12:14 pm

While installing RTL-SDR I carefully installed all packages. But while building using cmake the file libusb-config.cmake (or LibUSBConfig.cmake) could not be found. I expect it should be a part of the libusb-1.0-0-dev package but while this package was reported to be properly installed, the files mentioned are defitively are simply nowhere on the system. LibUSB 1.0 is reported to be required but apparently could not be found. Anyone can tell how to solve this problem?

If you are running Raspbian Jessie Operating System then the RTL-SDR software is available from the Package Repository:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtl-sdr
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/rtl-sdr
