Just a heads up to the list: I ran into an issue building GR v3.6.4.1  
yesterday on a CentOS 6.4 (x86\_64) machine - it’s caused by some issue  
with the cmake rules for Boost - it wants to pass /usr/lib64/lib64 (\<-  
repeated lib64 for some reason) into the linker for some of the Boost  
libraries (unit\_test in particular, but I don’t have the full error  
output handy currently). This appears to have already been addressed  
in the main GR cmake rules (i.e. Modules/GrBoost), but since Volk has  
it’s own set of cmake rules, it never got carried over. I’ve opened an  
issue on the bug tracker (#535), and posted a patch that I can confirm  
works for me (i.e. builds/installs on CentOS 6.4 x86\_64 and Ubuntu  
12.04 x86\_64), but I haven’t tested any more extensively than that.

Thanks for the report and patch. One other question–what version of  
GNU  
Radio is the patch based on?

I was building v3.6.4.1 on CentOS, but the patch was actually  
generated (and tested) on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine, and that was  
against master (SHA1: 21437ff462927cdab5ebe58d6f161fbb54a28fbf).
