Hello, I am trying to use the Burst PSK project that Tim O’Shea and Kiran K. developed and I am having trouble figuring out how to add the projects’ blocks into my version of Gnuradaio. Is there an easy way to add multiple blocks at a time or is it necessary to add them one at a time (using the method described in the OOT tutorial)? I haven’t tried much in the way of solving this problem because I would consider myself a novice when it comes to Linux but a hint in the right direction would definitely be welcomed. I appreciate your time, Logan Washbourne Electrical Engineering Graduate Student (Electromagnetics) ---

PyBOMBS is your friend. [GitHub - gnuradio/pybombs: PyBOMBS (Python Build Overlay Managed Bundle System) is the GNU Radio install management system for resolving dependencies and pulling in out-of-tree projects.](https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs) On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 1:21 PM, Washbourne, Logan \< ---

How did you go about installing GNU Radio, and what version are you using? (Check gnuradio-companion’s version). On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 4:21 PM, Washbourne, Logan \< ---

Start with “./pybombs sync” to pull town the latest recipes. You probably have old recipes. If you’re running 3.7.3 you may as well wipe out the old build and start fresh. On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 1:33 PM, Washbourne, Logan \< ---

“inventory.dat” contains the state of all the installed packages; you could edit it or just remove it and restart your builds. On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 2:06 PM, Washbourne, Logan \< ---

Chris, I appreciate the quick reply. I should have mentioned more in my first email. Pybombs was my initial route I was going to take but when I run “./pybombs list” gr-psk-burst is not listed. Although it is listed on the CGRAN website. Tim, I am running GRC 3.7.3, and I am 95% sure I used Pybombs a couple of months ago to install gnuradio.

Chris, Thanks for the advice. I ended up reinstalling Ubuntu 14.04, because I had not installed gnuradio through pybombs originally and I prematurely deleted the build folder for gnuradio before I could cleanly remove it. Now everything works great though, since I stuck to installing everything through pybombs.

Chris, I took your advice and uninstalled Gnuradio (to the best of my knowledge, I prematurely deleted the build folder before I could do a clean uninstall, so I searched around and deleted every instance of Gnuradio I could find, which I’m sure is the worst way to do it). When I try to install Gnuradio from Pybombs, I get an error stating: comm1@Comm1:~/Logan/source/pybombs$ ./pybombs install gnuradio -v Settled on prefix: /home/comm1/Logan/source/target Loading recipes … Checking if gnuradio is installed: No PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of make (4.0) is \>= than 3.75 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of libboost-dev (1.55.0) is \>= than 1.53 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of libboost-date-time-dev (1.55.0) is \>= than 1.53 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of libboost-filesystem-dev (1.55.0) is \>= than 1.53 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of libboost-program-options-dev (1.55.0) is \>= than 1.53 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of libboost-regex-dev (1.55.0) is \>= than 1.53 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of libboost-thread-dev (1.55.0) is \>= than 1.53 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of libboost-test-dev (1.55.0) is \>= than 1.53 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of libgsl0-dev (1.16) is \>= than 1.13 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of libgsl0ldbl (1.16) is \>= than 1.13 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of python-cheetah (2.4.4) is \>= than 2.0 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of python-numpy (1.8.2) is \>= than 1.5 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of python-lxml (3.3.6) is \>= than 2.3.2 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of python-gtk2 (2.24.0) is \>= than 2.17 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of python-cairo-dev (1.8.8) is \>= than 1.8 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of cmake (2.8.12) is \>= than 2.8.3 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of cmake-data (2.8.12) is \>= than 2.8.3 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of python-qt4 (4.11.2) is \>= than 4.6.2 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of python-qwt5-qt4 (5.2.1) is \>= than 5.2 PyBombs.sysutils - INFO - have\_deb: Satisfies requirement…installed version of python-zeroc-ice (3.5.1) is \>= than 3.5 Installing packages: - gnuradio Installing from source: gnuradio – Build type set to RelWithDebInfo. – Extracting version information from git describe… – Compiler Version: gcc (Ubuntu 4.9.1-16ubuntu6) 4.9.1 Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
