Upgrading from Wheezy to Jessie (or Stretch), and Piaware from whatever to ver 3.5.3 most likely will solve this problem.
One way to do this is a fresh install: Format mocroSD card, download and write latest Raspbian Stretch image, then install Piaware 3.5.5 and dump1090-fa add-on package.
Alternatively, try to upgrade existing software from Wheezy to Jessie, and Piaware from whatever version to 3.5.3. Following post tells how to do above upgrade.
I recommend reading the whole thread before attemting upgrade from wheezy to jessie, and to piaware 3.5.3.
