It appears that on Raspberry Pi, the code checks that the process is running as root. When it's not, it throws a very cryptic error (see nRF24#531): terminate called after throwing an instance of 'int' I'm not sure that making it compulsory to run as root is justified, but at least this change improves the error message. After it appears as: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): Process should run as root
