    Sorry one more:

    pi@MySensor-GW:~/MySensors $ sudo make
    pi@MySensor-GW:~/MySensors $ sudo make install
    Installing bin/mysgw to /usr/local/bin
    install -m0644 initscripts/mysgw.systemd /etc/systemd/system/mysgw.service
    systemctl daemon-reload
    MySensors gateway has been installed, to add to the boot run:
    sudo systemctl enable mysgw.service
    To start the gateway run:
    sudo systemctl start mysgw.service
    pi@MySensor-GW:~/MySensors $ sudo systemctl enable mysgw.service
    pi@MySensor-GW:~/MySensors $

    So no warnings or errors on make and make install, seens to be ok.

    Then a "sudo reboot"

    @Kurtsejr did you reboot befor running sudo ./bin/mysgw?
    If that’s the case my guess is that the gateway was already started automatically at boot. When you tried to start another instance, the tcp port was already in use.

        @Kurtsejr yes the gateway will start automatically at each boot, unless automatic start is disabled.

          To check if the gateway has started automatically, run sudo systemctl enable mysgw.service

            @Kurtsejr I tested the gateway on a spare raspberry pi and it does indeed print lots of ERROR accept: Bad file descriptor when more than one instance of the gateway is started. The solution is easy: don't start two instances at the same time.

            The reason is actually printed in the log: ERROR bind: Address already in use but is easy to miss due to the many ERROR accept: Bad file descriptor

              I have run the command, result:

                @mfalkvidd I decided to reinstall, start from scratch by installing a new pi image om my SDHC disk, but trying to install the GW software I get this message:

                  The Raspberry Pi probably doesn't have the right settings for connecting to Internet. What happens if you run ping google.com for example? You should get something like this:

                  ping google.com
                  PING google.com (142.250.179.142) 56(84) bytes of data.
                  64 bytes from ams17s10-in-f14.1e100.net (142.250.179.142): icmp_seq=1 ttl=58 time=33.3 ms
                  64 bytes from ams17s10-in-f14.1e100.net (142.250.179.142): icmp_seq=2 ttl=58 time=33.4 ms
                  

                  If you don't get any replies, the raspberry pi doesn't have a working internet connection.

                    sudo systemctl stop mysgw.service will stop the gateway service if it is currently running. It will start automatically again after reboot (unless disabled).

                    sudo systemctl disable mysgw.service will disable autostart, but will keep the service running if it has already been started.

                    https://www.linuxtrainingacademy.com/systemd-cheat-sheet/ can be a good place to start

                          So it seems that something is missing, something linux basic ....

                          Nice work on the internet connectivity @Kurtsejr

                          It is an issue on some (newer?) linux versions. It has been fixed in the development version of MySensors. You can switch to the development version, or add the fix yourself.

                          See https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/issues/1431 and https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/1446/files

                          Sorry for the inconvenience.

                            @Kurtsejr Now I have network connection, made an update and upgrade, and now I can install from github. Changed to rf24 radio, and could see that ethernet was default.

                            pi@MySensor-GW:~/MySensors $ sudo ./configure --my-transport=rf24

                            Next was to do a make, result:

                            pi@MySensor-GW:~/MySensors $ sudo make

                            @Kurtsejr Thanks a lot!
                            I removed the entry in the interrupt.cpp fil, and was then able to do a make , "make" - with some warnings, but make ended up writing this to me:

                            /home/pi/MySensors/./hal/architecture/Linux/drivers/core/config.h:39: multiple d efinition of `conf'; build/hal/architecture/Linux/drivers/core/config.o:/home/pi /MySensors/hal/architecture/Linux/drivers/core/config.h:39: first defined here
                            collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
                            make: *** [Makefile:80: bin/mysgw] Error 1
                            pi@MySensor-GW:~/MySensors $
                            pi@MySensor-GW:~/MySensors $ sudo ./bin/mysgw -c
                            sudo: ./bin/mysgw: command not found

                            This means that I do not have a mysgw file in "bin" - bin dir is empty

                              Everything seems to be working, used the "dev version" - thanks for helping, I started with a new image.
