Hi,
I tried to install gnuradio on fedora 17 following the instructions at 
gnu.org. I tried using build-gnuradio install script but it gave "make 
failed" error at the end. Then I tried using yum install gnuradio but i 
again failed. Then I used./build-gnuradio --verbose command but i again 
failed to install it.
Now i want to rebuild it but before that do i need to delete some files 
or use someuninstall commands.

Please suggest


Regards
Fabe

It's entirely possible that an interior compile stage is running out of
memory, and bailing half-way through creating a .o, which the linker 
then
   trips over.

My advice?  I'm suspecting that with only 512MB, your computer is fairly
old, and definitely under-powered if it can't reliably compile the
   code base.  Upgrade.

Lots and lots of people have successfully built Gnu Radio on Fedora 17
with build-gnuradio, so there's likely nothing wrong with the build
   script as such.

And if you're on a low-end ATOM or something like that, you'll have not
very much fun.

Go back through the error log, and see what happened when it tried to
fetch rtl-sdr.
