HI JIm!

May I ask from where you can get so old hamlib?
What is your Linux version and brand?

[saku@hamtpad ~]$ rigctl --version
rigctl(d), Hamlib 4.2~git

The best way is to copy source from GitHub and compile it. Next best is to see if your linux has any newer package of Hamlib.
If you happened to install wsjtx program you llready have newer Hamlib.

Just give the same version command you did, but use suffix "-wsjtx" to see if you have that one.
[saku@hamtpad ~]$ rigctl-wsjtx --version
rigctl Hamlib 4.1~git

Then just reconfigure cqrlog/prefrerences/trxcontrol.
Change rigctld path to have "rigctld-wsjtx" instead of "rigctld" keep the prefix path same ( I think it is /usr/bin/ ). Once done that close proferences and open it again. This should re-read rig model list (in case model numbers have changed). Then find your rig from list. Do it even if your rig seems already been selected to ensure you get rgiht model number.
Model numbers have changed during Hamlib V.4. (1000 added to previous model numbers)

If you do not have wsjtx installed then what Linux brand and version, please?
