make that welcome to the three new members

on 40 psk at the moment

Welcome to the two members that joined us today.

Any questions at all ask away.
You might not get the answers super fast, but a number of
us will work at them...

./configre tells me there is no acceptable C compiler in $path. Also
says no gawk, gcc, cc, cl. I see gcc-4.0 base and gcc-4.0 as being
installed. I installed gawk, but what else do I need. ??

Ed W3NR


Thanks to some input from VE-Dave I managed to correctly compile. I
guess I'm spolied by Debian and apt. Its been several years since I have
compiled from source.

Only problem is I have no hamlib in gmfsk now. I'm not sure how to go
about enabling hamlib support now that gmfsk is compiled. IIRC you have
to set a switch in gmfsk before you compile it to enable hamlib support.
Any ideas and/or help. TIA

been there ! done that ! hope the pain is not too excrutiating Ed. Let me know if I can help resolve the issue between gmfsk and the Omvi.

Ed,
Still thinking about your problem. Are you using hamlib with gmfsk / Omni VI ?
Is Xlog accessing the Omni VI via hamlib for the freq info or is it getting that from gmfsk?
Dave (hkj)

Yes I am using hamlib/gmfsk with the Omni VI. This where the problem is. Xlog is via hamlib, not gmfsk. Also xdx is via hamlib and both of these work as expected. I haven't checked what gmfsk puts in xlog, and can't do that now. I completely borked my debian, lost it all. I'm rebuilding the laptop install now, be a few days before its back to normal. Also lost the win2k partition that I used for wireless and N1MM Logger contesting software. Lucky for me, I have most of the information sitting on the Samba file server on the desktop box.

A new beta test program for the Kachina 505DSP transceiver is posted.

I also posted a new version of gmfsk-hkj (0.47) which targets the
Kachina CAT program directly. No need to download this version unless
you are using this rig. gmfsk-hkj remains compatible with all
previous versions via the use of the "hkj-config.h" #define switches.
With all switches turned off the program compiles to the original
gmfsk-0.7pre1 release.

Dave (hkj)

Thanks for the good news Riley. Glad to hear that we have another happy Linux user :-)

Dave (hkj)

Hey Dave and Group;
Thanks again. It is running and with fb mods! Seems my problem was initially that I had
not installed dev libraries for libgnomeui, and fftw. Version number in Sarge is correct, out
of the box.

Hope see you on the air soon.
Thanks Riley wd4dkv.

Any ideas? Thanks Riley.

try loading the latest libgnomeui development libraries (2.8.1.3) using
Synaptic Package Manager (comes with Sarge). You may have to set the
reposities up in the Settings/Reposities dialog.

Synaptic makes the get & install process very easy for debian updates.

Are you trying to compile the w1hkj modifications (www.w1hkj.com)? or
the .7pre1 that is on the gmfsk home site?
If you download the source tree from the w1hkj.com site you do not not
need any other source.

Dave (hkj)

Thanks Dave,
Yes, I am using the source tree from w1hkj site. If I must compile from source, why not go
for the cool mods, hihi?

I think my problem may be that I don't have the correct repositories setup in apt yet. I'm
using the "stock" list, which only has about three sites. Have tried installing everything I
have related to gnomeui, to no avail(however, I don't think they're the version that you
mentioned).

This Debian load is less than a week old, and runs better than most anything else I've
tried, including a knoppix hard drive installation. The latter left me somewhat confused so
I decided to install Debian stable, I am not a programmer, but have a few years with linux
behind me now.

Will try to locate some new apt repositories, using your libgnomeui version number as
criteria, and install it.

Heard you on 80 last night...good signals! Will be back! Thanks Riley, wd4dkv.

I use gMfsk with a Tentec Omni VI. When I'm on LSB the QRG in the
waterfall is 1kc low, if I switch to USB its 1kc high. Any ideas how
to correct this ?? I've asked before on linux-hams but never got any
reply and Google was of no help. Xlog and Xdx are correct, so its
somewhere in gMfsk or so I think.

And my 02 cents worth....Debian stable. I've tried many many distros
in the last 7 years and Debian suits my needs. 73

I'm actually back on Debian stable at the moment and playing around again. I
have a feeling I don't understand the concept of stable, testing and
unstable. Do these terms refer to individual packages or the whole
installation?

The whole installation.

We release a set of packages as a release. The last release is always
called stable, and it's currently the release with codename sarge.

The release-in-preparation is called testing, currently codenamed etch.
Later etch will become stable (planned for end of this year).

New versions of packages first go in unstable, then into testing
automatically after 10 days unless they have problems.

However, once released, sarge never changes apart from security fixes
and occasionally fixes for important bugs.

Can I load the newer versions directly into Sarge or do I have to change my
distribution to testing or unstable to get them. I assume galeon will rely
on a bunch of libraries I have in the older version. If these get upgraded
during the installation of galeon, then wouldn't that either break other
programs on my distro or kick off an upgrade to them? In the end, will the
whole system migrate over to testing or unstable?

You can try to install the .deb for the newer version on sarge however
it would often need newer libraries. You could have to install those as
well and before long it's too difficult. Instead you could use etch
(testing); it contains new stuff but is a bit less rough than unstable.

Another alternative is to get newer versions that have been built for
the libraries in sarge. These are called 'backports' and there are a
collection of them on the backports.org web site. These are not official
packages, but they are produced by Debian developers so the quality is
high.

I'll let Hamish answer the question on the difference between stable, testing & unstable.

Instead of Galeon, why not try Mozilla Firefox (fast & stable web browser) and Thunderbird (fast & stable email client). At least take a look at them at

In any Linux distro you might find yourself having to compile a program and upgrade libraries to insure that you have the bleeding edge. That's what the gmfsk-hkj mods are all about. You can download the gmfsk.deb file but that would not have any of the hkj mods installed. The same is true for other apps that you might want to try. Now the good news is that Linux allows you to have multiple versions of libraries installed and accessible by various apps that need different versions. Windows claims to have that ability with DLLs under XP, but I still ran into conflicts. Never have a conflict under Linux. You might have to do a little systems admin to get everything playing together, but no app will throw sand at another app and overwrite its libraries! For example I have three different rev levels for the Fast Light Took Kit (no, make that four) installed and I can compile against any without fear of breaking my code because a different one is present.

Stick with Debian for a while Kevin. It will grow on you. I upgrade all of my installed files that are in the deb database on a weekly basis. Takes about 1-3 minutes, including download and install. All of the conflicts are resolved by the wget process. Hamish maintains the gmfsk deb files (maybe a few more?) He gets paid all of those big bucks to make sure that our systems don't go down the tubes.

By the way, Thanks a million Hamish. I just dont have that much to send your way :-) .

I've been playing. Started with Debian and thought it was a bit "spartan."
So I downloaded the disks for SuSE. There was a problem with one of the
disks which may have caused some glitches but I liked how everything just
seemed to work on it. The software was much more up to date than it was on
Debian.

Them's fighting words!

Debian has the most packages of any distribution. I'm sure you won't
find anything in SuSE that is not in Debian. We certainly have at least
as many ham apps.

Debian sarge was released about 9 months ago, so it is fairly up to date
but there have been a few releases of GNOME and the like since then.
Hopefully etch will be released by the end of 2006.
