Build-gnuradio script with RedHat Enterprise Linux 6

GNU Radio
1

I am trying to use the build-gnuradio script on a RedHat Enterprise
Linux 6
machine and I can not download certain packages. Those packages being
wxPython-devel, pygsl, qwtplot3d-qt4-devel, and Orc. I have enabled the
optional package stream at the RHN so that is how I was able to narrow
it
down these four. I made an attempt to download those four rpms but it
seems
that they require too many prerequisites that I have to keep on
downloading, execute, and discover I need more prerequisite packages for
those prerequisite packages. Is there a better way to install GNU Radio
on
RedHat? I would use a different distro but I really need RedHat for
other
projects and RedHat is the only Linux OS that is allowed on my
organization’s network.

Thanks for your help.

The problem has been solved. A colleague and I figured it out but the
solution seems somewhat inconvenient, we had to enable an optional
package
updater (I can not remember the command he used) and we were able to get
all but pygsl. We then just downloaded a .rpm of pygsl for Fedora 12 and
used it and everything seemed to have worked. The only issue with the
buildscript now is that it will not uninstall a previous installation
but
create a new one giving multiple installations.

We finally got it working today so I have not gotten to use it too
deeply
but I think GNU Radio runs nicely on Red Hat.

Jon,

Thanks for the update. The build-gnuradio script is really meant for
Fedora and Ubuntu only, but it’s nice to know that it can be made to
work on RedHat, too.
