Hello Olaf,

you can't simple assume that xlog is going to used the new library. Yes,
you need to uninstall the xlog and hamlib1 debian package and recompile
xlog with hamlib support. Instructions are in the INSTALL and README
file.

I doubt that you can compile xlog on a debian/woody box. The GTK+
library on debian/woody is over one year old and since I have added some
of the latest GTK+ function, compilation will most probably fail.

You could try installing Debian/testing, which will become the next
stable release in a few weeks. It contains the latest xlog and
hamlib-1.2.0.

Please subscribe to the hamlib-developer mailing list and ask around
there. Details are on
