What you need to run the gMFSK software
You can get the RPM of the gMFSK software from
this web page. But gMFSK has several required libraries and you will want to
use the Xlog software to log your contacts. You will need to get the Hamlib,
fftw and Xlog software from their author's web pages. Here you can click the
proper word and get to the web page having the software. When you have all the
RPM files on your Linux you can install it, but you need to install it in
order or it will not load properly.
Down Loading the software
It is suggested that you down load the software
in this order. First get the 2 fftw rpm files, then Hamlib, then Xlog and
last gMFSK rpm files. When you click to get the fftw files you will be
transported to another web page. Usually you can down load the software and
then press back on your web browser and get back to this page. If not you
will need to re-call this page. Down loading can take hours to minutes
depending on your Internet speed. If you are using a dial-up Internet it can
take hours to get all this software.
Now you will get the two fftw library RPM files. From this page you want
the files fftw-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm and fftw-2.1.3-devel-1.i386.rpm. You will
get to the proper web page by clicking on fftw.
fftw
Both of these rpm packages will load normally.
Now you will get the Hamlib RPM. You want the file hamlib-1.2.3-1 RPM for
i386 and it's the big letters at the top of the page. Click this name when
you reach the web page. To get there click on hamlib below:
hamlib
This package will load normally and it's used by both
Xlog and gMFSK.
Get the RPM package of Xlog. It is on a web page you can reach
by clicking on Xlog. Get the file xlog-1.1-1.i386.rpm.
Xlog
Due to a problem with Xlog, load it with this line: #rpm -i --nodeps
xlog-1.1-1.i386.rpm. It will work fine.
Now get the RPM of gMFSK from this web page. Click on the word gMFSK and
the down load will start right up.
gMFSK
Now you have all the software needed to set
up gMFSK on just about any Linux that uses the RPM method.
