I am having a problem with the build-gnuradio script on Scientific Linux
6.3 (x86_64). I added myself to sudoers and tried running the script but
I
usually get this this output:
Starting all functions at: Wed Mar 20 12:31:31 EDT 2013
SUDO privileges are required
Do you have SUDO privileges?y
Continuing with script
./build-gnuradio.sh: line 1249: tmp18685: Permission denied

touch: cannot touch `touch18685’: Permission denied
Fetching Gnu Radio via GIT…Could not find gnuradio/gnuradio-core after
GIT checkout
GIT checkout of Gnu Radio failed!
I looked at the shell script’s line 1249 and I can see that it wants to
access my sudoers file. Am I suppose to change sudoers’ default
permissions? This problem has been frustrating me for a while especially
considering I have successfully installed GNU Radio on RHEL before. I
appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks.

It’s never been tested on Scientific Linux, and the RHEL support is
only very lightly tested–by exactly one person, as far as I know.
Are
you running this in a directory that you wouldn’t have write-access to
if root? Like an NFS mount maybe?

I tried running it in /usr/local and /usr/local/src. Right now I am
trying
in /home/$USER/workspace and I think that could of done the trick. I
suppose when it is done or if it finishes, I can move the source
directories to /usr/local/src.
This problem seems odd because I can run this script in /usr/local on
Ubuntu boxes but not in a RHEL clone.
Thanks for the response.

Possibly Ubuntu sets up /usr/local to be regular-user
writeable, but that would be a horrible security flaw.
At least for my Ubuntu 12.04 /usr/local is owned by root:root with 0755
permissions and everything else would have given me nightmares 
Maybe you started the script with sudo, instead of letting the script
itself call sudo, then you would have had the necessary permissions.
Yours

It’s intended to run in an
ordinary user directory – only only uses “sudo” for the final “make
install” and post-install stuff. Downloading and compiling code isn’t
something that requires root privilege, so those bits just run as an
ordinary user.
Possibly Ubuntu sets up /usr/local to be regular-user
writeable, but that would be a horrible security flaw.

Quick update. GRC started after I rebooted. I still need to check to see
if
everything runs without a hitch.

I need to recheck the whole Ubuntu thing as soon as I get back to my
lab.
For my SL problem, I think it installed albeit without gnuradio
companion
working. I try to run “gnuradio-companion” in terminal and I get this
following error:
Cannot import gnuradio.
Is the python path environment variable set correctly?
All OS: PYTHONPATH
Is the library path environment variable set correctly?
Linux: LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Windows: PATH
MacOSX: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
I tried setting the paths in my .bashrc here:
.bashrc
Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
User specific aliases and functions
library path for gnuradio
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib64

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib64/python2.6/site-packages

Keep in mind that changes made to
your .bashrc only take effect the next time you log in, or the next time
you crack open a command window, but only if the command window tool is
configured to “run as login shell”.
