@nightmare-2021 It appears gqrx was built before it’s dependencies. :wink:

❯ pacman -Si gqrx | grep "Build Date"
Build Date      : Thu 31 Dec 2020 03:23:05 AM MST 

❯ pacman -Si gnuradio-osmosdr | grep "Build Date"
Build Date      : Thu 31 Dec 2020 11:33:43 AM MSTT

I also encountered the same issue. Went through the whole loop of uninstalling and reinstalling. I thought I was missing something.

It need to be rebuilded against gnuradio 3.8.2

Hi,

I’m having the same issue.
I’ve uninstalled all gnuradio and gqrx dependancies and try to reinstall in different order but same problem.

I’m trying to find a solution like “ln -ls” command or download the 3.8.1 library but i don’t know where GQRX is trying to find this lib …

Regards,

Ok i tried these commands with no result :upside_down_face:

ln -s /usr/lib/libgnuradio-analog.so /usr/lib/libgnuradio-analog.so.3.8.1
ln -s /usr/lib/libgnuradio-digital.so /usr/lib/libgnuradio-digital.so.3.8.1
ln -s /usr/lib/libgnuradio-filter.so /usr/lib/libgnuradio-filter.so.3.8.1
ln -s /usr/lib/libgnuradio-filter.so /usr/lib/libgnuradio-filter.so.3.8.1
ln -s /usr/lib/libgnuradio-fft.so /usr/lib/libgnuradio-fft.so.3.8.1
ln -s /usr/lib/libgnuradio-blocks.so /usr/lib/libgnuradio-blocks.so.3.8.1
ln -s /usr/lib/libgnuradio-runtime.so /usr/lib/libgnuradio-runtime.so.3.8.1
ln -s /usr/lib/libgnuradio-pmt.so /usr/lib/libgnuradio-pmt.so.3.8.1
ln -s /usr/lib/libgnuradio-audio.so /usr/lib/libgnuradio-audio.so.3.8.1

Result : gqrx: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgnuradio-fcdproplus.so.3.8.0: undefined symbol: hid_exit

Having the same issue; tried the gqrx-git AUR package but that one doesn’t build currently, it has an issue with one of the deps as well.

I know this is not a solution but Gqrx offers AppImages as releases and those work, ofc.

That library is no more present in the repository, the package need to be rebuilded against gnuradio 3.8.2

yay -G gqrx
cd gqrx
makepkg -sicC

Sadly the above solution fails at linking stage
