WSPR on a Raspberry PI
Wooo hoo..... Thanks Soren!
Soren OZ9U found my earlier blog posting from 1/25/2015 that had a partial recipe. He looked at the error and figured out that the gcc parameters that were being specified needed GCC v4.9. He sent me an updated install recipe that worked for him but only got me about 98% there. I then pulled out my previous notes and was able to bridge the last couple of errors.
My testing uses versions:

I was able to bring up the WSPR gui after those steps were completed. It has been sitting there idle for an hour without any issues. I don't currently have a radio hooked up to the RPi so that will limit my testing short term.
I am going to run a couple more installs with fresh images to make sure that my notes are good and then I will try to hook up a radio and to a little testing of transmit and receive operations. I will also try to install a few other ham radio related packages to make sure that they don't break this install.
Thanks to Soren and the folks before us that have contributed to get us to this point.
