[Discuss-gnuradio] failed build in new version of gnuradio 3.6.3

[Bill Peter]

Hi,

I tested out the new release 3.6.3 on an old IBM thinkpad laptop (and I mean old--about ten years old) running Ubuntu 10.04. I did this before testing it out on the laptop I have the old version running fine (a Dell Latitude running Ubuntu 12.04).

Anyway, I used the build script on the old IBM, and everything compiled until it got to here:

[ 38%] Building C object src/CMakeFiles/rtl_adsb.dir/rtl_adsb.c.o
Linking C executable rtl_adsb
librtlsdr.so.0.0.0: undefined reference to `libusb_error_name'

Does anyone have any idea what could be giving the error. I used the "verbose" option, and here is the last few lines of the build:
