Also got the same problem except for the solid orange waterfall - for me there is no signal on the waterfall (and adjusting audio levels on the rig interface and PC audio mixer does not help).  I have been running your PSKlive distro and fldigi works fine there.

I am running Kbuntu 7.04

Thanks for a great system by the way.

Hell Rein,

It's been a while since I have played with Pskmail and have started up again. I am hoping to get a server going on 30 meters soon.(waiting on some computer  parts) I've been using client0.2.6 and fldigi 1.11 on this computer without problems. It is a Compaq Armada 110, 800Mhz and 512megs ram, It has Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn running on it. I wanted to try the latest package and I downloaded the Install package and followed the instructions on the install.txt . I was unable to get it going.. I am getting the following message when I tried to run it:

jmatonis@jmatonis-laptop:~/mail$ ./pskmail
Goto undefined subroutine &DynaLoader::bootstrap_inherit at /usr/lib/perl/5.8/XSLoader.pm line 95.

Everything appears to be up to date according to the install instructions on the Wikispace page.. I am able to run version 5.0 of the client since following the Wiki install instructions. Also, the new version of fldigi starts and the waterfall becomes a solid orange..  I would appreciate your feedback on possible fixes..

Thank you,
Jason

To install the package follow the instructions in the INSTALL..txt file.
The only thing you have to do is untar the archive in your home directory,it contains all files
necessary to run the system, including fldigi and its configuration files.

I have tried this on Puppy Linux 2.17 and on UBUNTU Dapper, and there it works. It would be nice to
hear if it works on other distros as well, and where the limitations with regard to CPU speed and
memory are.

The footprint of this version is quite big, and depending on the CPU speed starting pskmail will take quite some time. There is no run-time penalty.

You run the pskmail program with doing:
cd mail
./pskmail
in a terminal.

I cannot make it easier....
