Yet more difficulties. Having found a work around for the Usb issue with the B200, I was then unable to get any of the audio examples to run again due to /dev/dsp not being present and gnuradio insisting on using oss. I Decided I must not have built it correctly so I tried re-building yet again with pybombs. This is slow as I have only access to slow broadband here. Now I have total build failure in uhd. Not sure how to proceed as I don’t know what I am doing wrong here. It worked fine last time.

I got the same error at work on my newly upgraded 64 bit laptop running Ubuntu 14.04 Strangely, I built last night on a similar laptop with no problems. Very Respectfully, Dan CaJacob ---

That’s interesting as its more or less the same here, except my last build was a couple of days ago. I am also running ubuntu 14.04, a fresh install. How did you fix the error? Mike ---

I’m using Ubuntu 14.04 (I’m assuming, Mike, that you’ve just updated as well?) and using Boost 1.54 with no problems. 14.04 also has Boost 1.55 available for install, and that might be what you’re pulling down.

I haven’t fixed it. That’s why I am piggy-backing on your email. Very Respectfully, Dan CaJacob ---

Yep, Mike, I am going to post this over on the Ettus ML. I’ll copy you. Very Respectfully, Dan CaJacob ---

Yes indeed - I did an update. Is there any way to force it back to 1.54? Mike
