Can't get it to run. #14

Closed Zathras42 closed 8 years ago

Zathras42 commented 8 years ago

I've followed the instructions and can't get FreqShow to run. Even after re-install.

Error: pi@raspberrypi ~/FreqShow $ sudo python freqshow.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "freqshow.py", line 30, in import controller File "/home/pi/FreqShow/controller.py", line 27, in from views import File "/home/pi/FreqShow/views.py", line 32, in import freqshow File "/home/pi/FreqShow/freqshow.py", line 31, in import model File "/home/pi/FreqShow/model.py", line 26, in from rtlsdr import ImportError: No module named rtlsdr

What can be the issue?

Thanks.

ImportError no module named rtlsdr means the pyrtlsdr library didn't install for some reason. Double check this command successfully complete:

sudo pip install pyrtlsdr

In particular watch out for errors like pandoc method not support and the suggestion to install pandoc and try again--I noticed some problems a bit recently with it being required. If you do see that error run these commands to install pandoc and force a reinstall of the library:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pandoc
sudo pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall pyrtlsdr

Good luck!
