Unless you know that your system uses PulseAudio for its sound card service you should not download that version.<br> <br> You will need three shared libraries on your system, hamlib-1.2.10; libsamplerate; and libportaudio2. Use the libraries available for your linux distribution. Most current distributions use either deb or rpm files and can be accessed from a global repository. Building the libraries from source should be a last resort unless you are a knowledgable Linux user and have performed a library build from source in the past.<br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Hamlib required</span><br style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"> <br> You will need to have hamlib-1.2.7 installed on your system before fldigi can be executed. Most current distributions either have a deb or rpm distribution file for hamlib-1.2.10. If you must compile from source you can find it at:<br> <br> <a href="http://www.hamlib.org/">http://www.hamlib.org</a><br> <br> Follow the instructions in the source code top directory to compile, link and install the library.<br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">libsamplerate required<br> <br> </span>You will need to have libsample installed on your system before fldigi can be executed. Most current distributions either have a deb or rpm distribution file for libsamplerate.

The precompiled binaries have been tested and work correctly on all of the Debian and Ubuntu/Kubuntu distributions. They have also been tested and confirmed to work on Suse 10.1, and Mandriva 2007.<br> <br> Download the tarball for the binary version and unpack to a directory on your HD such as $HOME/bin or some other convenient directory of your choosing. The least common denominator for unpacking a tarball is to download the file and save it to a convenient directory such as $HOME/downloads. Then open up a terminal window. Assuming you will be installing the executable to $HOME/bin do the following and that you have downloaded the tarball to $HOME/downloads<br> <br> cd<br> cd bin<br> tar xzf ../downloads/fldigi-D.dd.npa.bin.tgz<br> <br> where D.dd is the current version number as in 3.10<br> <br> <br> You can create a link to the fldigi executable on your desktop using the fldigi.png icon located at <br> <br> <a href="http://www.w1hkj.com/fldigi-distro/fldigi-psk.png">http://www.w1hkj.com/fldigi-distro/fldigi-psk.png</a><br> <br> Creating a desktop link to an application is different for each desktop manager, so please refer to the documentation for your specific manager.<br> <br> The first time that you execute fldigi either from the command line or by clicking on the executable in a file manager or the desktop icon it will create a new directory and file:<br> <ul> <li>$HOME/.fldigi</li> <li>$HOME/.fldigi/macros.mdf</li> </ul>If this is a new installation you will be guided through some necessary configuration by a <a href="Wizard.html">new install wizard.</a><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"></span><br> <div style="text-align: center;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="index.html">Contents</a></div> </body></html>
