I have RTL_SDR installed

I have RTLSDR installed

Your make attempt begs to differ. Did you properly install it with a package manager?

[scuba323]

Yes using gqrx's Launchpad PPA. I have Elementary OS.

This is an OS specific problem - either a bad PPA, or some local problem on your machine - and I'm not familiar with Elementary OS so I can't help much.

Generally speaking, if you have librtlsdr properly installed, you should be seeing something like this:

$ pkg-config --cflags librtlsdr
-I/usr/include/ -I/usr/include/libusb-1.0

I don't get it. when I try to apt-get, it says latest version

Please close this ticket, this is not a dump1090 issue.

@scuba323 You might try installing from source, e.g.:

git clone git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git
cd rtl-sdr
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make install

Hint: If you're on a Debian system, you should check if you installed librtlsdr-dev. Not the rtl_sdr tools, not librtlsdr0, but librtlsdr-dev.
