I want to write about my experience with YACC software.
I was testing the last version of YAAC on a notebook with Ubuntu.
?uname -a Linux pdsnb1030 4.4.0-173-generic #203-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 15 02:55:01 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I Know?It's pretty old but it works in a very old notebook.
I was using a PLXTraker Blue as a TNC via Bluetooth.
At first the application don't connect over bluetooth, the app show a message like "error can't connect to bluethoot port" showing this error on syslog.

After some googling and testing i found this solution.
sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev
And voilá! now is working smoothly...
I think it's a good idea to include this package in the installation manual.
The great advantage of using this microsat TNC is it work as a Digi when not connected via bluethoot and when you connect using YAAC or Aprsdroid it convert in a tnc..
Thank a lot to Andrew and all the supporter users who maintain this proyect alive.
