[Hackrf-dev] ubuntu 14.04lts

[tokens at myranch.com]

It was suggested that the easiest way to install Gnuradio and Hackrf was this:

http://www.hamspirit.nl/mediawiki/index.php/Installing_GnuRadio

I tried this and all went well except for two things.

1. The green USB light lights up but I can’t get any response from hackrf_info.

allen at allen-laptop:~$ hackrf_info
hackrf_info: symbol lookup error: hackrf_info: undefined symbol: hackrf_device_list
allen at allen-laptop:~$ 

2. There is a problem installing libgnuradio-iqbalance.

allen at allen-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

I hope someone can give me some help. Working with Linux is not intuitive for me.

Thank you very much.
