NovaSDR is uploaded to the github, and is no longer compatible with PhantomSDR, beware of this. Also it's still in beta-stage.

Beware of the double Soapy conflict....

Hi all,

When you use the install script, and you select the Soapy-support, it will install Soapy.
This is not a problem unless you installed Soapy yourself because of unsupported drivers in the distro.
Like a Funcube or the RSP1A with 2.13 API drivers.
When you do this, you end up with 2 Soapies and it conflicts.

See all details here:

https://github.com/Steven9101/NovaSDR/issues/24

It's all described in there, but a simply way to see if you have 2 Soapies it testing this:

/usr/bin/SoapyUtil --help

If that respons, you have the distro install. Now test:

/usr/local/bin/SoapyUtil --help

If that responds too then you have two versions installed and you have to remove one of them.

See the github topic for more info.

But before you upgrade to 0.3.6 or newer, check if you have more then 1 Soapy installed. Else it will not work correctly or even fail to setup/configure/run.
