Thanks Bill
Your instructions worked and I now have fldigi running.
I'll now start working on the psk_arq.pl install.
Is your server running now?  If so I will try and reach it this weekend.

Hi Alan - 

What have you done so far to install fldigi on Ubuntu?  I am a Linux
"newbie" 
also and I managed to get it going.

First - I installed Unbutu 7.10  from a Live CD.  Then I allowed it to
install all 
the outstanding updates that were available (you need an active internet 
connection for this to happen)

Second - I used the Synaptic package manager to install  "build-essential".


Then I copied fldigi to  usr/local/bin

Then I used the synaptic package manager to install  "libhamlib-utils".

Then I used synaptic to install  "libportaudio2".

Then fldigi started to work.  I would start it froma terminal window in my 
home directory by typing ./fldigi

There are several other guys on the list that can tell you what I did in all
the 
above steps (and probably tell you some of them were not necessary ot 
incorrect!)

Hope that helps a bit.  Keep plugging away and you will get there.  I am 
setting up a server, and hope to figure out how to make an installation 
package for the client and for the server for Ubuntu.  One of these days I
will 
get my son home (he lives and breathes Linux) and have him show me how 
to do that!
