Hello,

I dont know what I'm doing wrong.


----------------------------------------

After talking with L-FY on IRC channel yate / freenode. It came to an issue with new libraries, as to our conversation he explained they are working on a new release for next week that shouldnt rely anymore on the old libraries. Looking forward!

Thanks for the hardwork

Hi,

Does anyone have an update to this?

Ive been trying for 3 days to get this to work... killing me...

Use the latest YateBTS SVN with the latest Yate SVN.

Hi,
 
If you're using a SVN revision prior to rev. 504, this should give you a clue:

2015-06-03_23:15:07.890780 <mbts:GOON> OpenBTS.cpp:151:startTransceiver: cannot find ./transceiver-bladerf

Possible causes for this:
* you don't have the development version of bladerf or libusb1, so the transceiver was not compiled. Check where you compiled YateBTS that you have the compiled transceiver-bladerf (it should be in mbts/TransceiverRAD1). If you don't have it, run the configure script again and look for the lines that say if it detected support for it or not.
* you didn't configure the correct path to the transceiver-bladerf. Check again the path to the installed transceiver-bladerf and make sure you have configured it correctly in ybts.conf.


If you're using SVN revision 504 or upwards, you don't need bladerf-devel anymore. Just make sure that you use the latest Yate also and that you have libusb1-devel.
