[Discuss-gnuradio] RTL-SDR: Failed to open rtlsdr device

[Manu T S]

I have installed rtl-sdr driver in my machine. The tarball of the source I used is attached. The commands I used ( after cd-ying to the source directory ) are listed.

address@hidden rtl-sdr]$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON .

address@hidden rtl-sdr]$ make

address@hidden rtl-sdr]$ sudo make install

address@hidden rtl-sdr]$ sudo cp rtl-sdr.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/15-rtl-sdr.rules

address@hidden rtl-sdr]$ sudo chown root:root /etc/udev/rules.d/15-rtl-sdr.rules

address@hidden rtl-sdr]$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

But when I run rtl_test I get the following message.

address@hidden ~]# rtl_test
Found 1 device(s):
  0:  ezcap USB 2.0 DVB-T/DAB/FM dongle

Using device 0: ezcap USB 2.0 DVB-T/DAB/FM dongle
usb_claim_interface error -6
Failed to open rtlsdr device #0.

I'm working on Arch linux x86_64, installed from Currnt Release (2013.03.01)

I googled, but not much info is available on this.

Has anyone come across such a situation?
