Hi Richard.

I don't know if anyone is providing up-to-date packages for RPi OS
Bookworm.  If that is being done, I'd like to add a link to our Web
sites for such packages.

For compiling on your system, you can install the build-essential package which 
should pull in everything needed for a basic build of Hamlib.  The
released source tarball has already been prepared for ease compilation.
For the latest release this archive is:

https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib/releases/download/4.6.2/hamlib-4.6.2.tar.gz

The archive will unpack into its own directory named hamlib-4.6.2 with
all files and other directories under that.  In that directory you
should find the INSTALL file which should give guidance for building
Hamlib and installing it to your system.  There is quite a bit of
information, not all of which will apply to your installation.

Section 5 is important so the runtime dynamic linker can find the newly
installed libhamlib files.  Fortunately, this doesn't need to be done
often and probably won't be required until there is a Hamlib version 5
(quite some time).

After it has been done a few times and you get the hang of it, you might
want to try the daily snapshots, but for now try the latest release and
see if that provides any more functions.
