Ok, trying to get limesdr and gnuradio working with the PPA since my attempts to build from source were unsuccessful.
I’ve added the launchpad.net ppa for Myriadrf/gnuradio
I tried apt-get install gr-osmosdr gnuradio
It fails at the end, if I try to fix the failure with -f install
apt is complaining about this:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libgnuradio-iqbalance

30 not fully installed or removed.

If I remove gr-osmosdr
it stops trying to install iqbalance and I can get the package system ‘clean’ again (not complaining about things) but if I try to install gr-osmosdr
it fails with the install of this library like so:
root@qbert:~# apt-get install gr-osmosdr

Without the osmocom SDR wrapper for soapy which wraps the limesdr driver I cannot use LimeSDR with gnuradio. Any thoughts on how I might fix this problem?
