WARNING! RADIO RELATED CONTENT FOLLOWS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
I was having a tough time installing xclass on newer Linux installs.
Without xclass, rx320 will not run. I stumbled on the solution by a
dedicated (and smart) individual. It is located he
http://longwire.com/?p=47
I copied and pasted the method below. Open a terminal in Linux and then
copy and paste each line at a time. When the line does its job, go on to
the next line until finished.
I love the radio and appreciate all attempts to make the use of it
easier for all.

So – here we go, these are the steps to get your RX320 working on Ubuntu
or Debian:
[ get XClass and RX320, available on Dave's site ]
$ cd
$ mkdir xclass
$ cd xclass
$ wget
http://www.w1hkj.com/usercontrib/xclass-0.9.4.tgz
$ wget
http://www.w1hkj.com/usercontrib/rx320-0.6.2.tgz
$ tar xzf xclass-0.9.4.tgz
$ tar xzf rx320-0.6.2.tgz
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ sudo apt-get install bison byacc libxext-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
libxpm-dev libxt-dev
$ cd xclass-0.9.4
$ make clean
$ make shared
$ sudo make install
[ test for xc-config installed OK ]
$ xc-config –version
0.9.4
$ xc-config –libs
-L/usr/local/lib -lxclass -lXpm -lXext -lX11 -lXpm
$ cd ../rx320-0.6.2
$ make
[ test the build ]
$ ./rx320
[ if OK then install ] [ see below for serial port errors if any ]
$ sudo make install
[ test the install ]
$ cd
$ rx320
More tips, to actually make your radio work:
The default serial port is /dev/ttyS1 – if there is no such device, you
will get “/dev/ttyS1 is not a tty” In any case, you will likely need to
make sure your user is a member of the “dialout” group, so that you have
access to the correct one:
sudo usermod -a -G dialout username
Log off and back on.
On the RX320 panel, you can right-click on the grey area to get
“configure,” where you can enter the correct port.
