Help (again) with ACARSDEC

[bobruzzo]

I have a new MX LINUX installation and want to install ACARSDEC. I have done this before a long time ago but I am running into many errors. I need some hand holding step by step instructions. I tried Googling but i keep getting errors. Right now if I do rtl_test, my rtl-sdr dongle shows up. I installed some "libraries" and related files but still keep getting "make" errors and some other ones. Getting nowhere. I used to use ACARSDEC with MULTITAIL to get colored fonts. It all worked very well in my previuos Linux installation. I downloaded the file "acarsdec-acarsdec-3.7.tar.gz" its in my Documents folder. I followed instructions from THIS website. But still get errors. Can anyone help me with this? I am not a hardcore Linux user. Thank you.
