Re: [linrad] Still problems svga

[Richard Hosking <richardh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Dear all

Success at last!
Steps involved
   download source svga-1.4.3.tar.gz
   copy to /usr/local/src
   gunzip
   tar
   cd svga-1.4.3
   make install
   (ignore errors)
   cp /usr/local/src/svgalib/sharedlib/vgagl.so.1.4.3 
/usr/lib/vgagl.so.1  (copy- note vgagl is not at /usr/local/lib and the 
links didnt seem to work)
   (same for libvga.so.1.4.3)

I tried various linrad distros - rpm didnt work as it couldnt find libvgagl.
Eventually used the source

   download bzip2 and install
  download linrad01-15 and copy to working directory
   bzip2 -xf linrad01-15.tgz
   tar -xvf linrad01-15.tar
  etc as in instructions

Many thanks for your patience
Now I can start learning all the intricacies of FFTs etc - fascinating!

I have a DDS board using the AD9854 which can give quadrature output to 
60 MHz or so.
I will set up a direct conversion I/Q frontend using a "Tayloe" 
architecture with the FST3125 quad switch and a couple of opamps.

I ignored the errors and in fact libvga and libvgagl were in a different 
directory
