Sorry for this lack of information. Actually, I work on CentOS and I have Python2.6 running. I will be more specific in my future emails. Thank you for your response. Regards, Azza On Sat, Apr 5, 2014 at 9:13 AM, Marcus Müller [via GnuRadio] \< ---

It builds fine now. I can actually run anything or test it, but the VM installation is in a strange state (one that I’m not particularly invested in caring about right now). I’m doing one final test of this now and will likely merge and push it out soon. Thanks! Tom ---

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just a side note, Azza: When reporting errors, please include more information (system, os version, platform, method of installation). If I hadn’t had a wild guess on what’s going wrong, I couldn’t even have attempted to help here; for future problems, it’d be great if you stuck to: [http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/ReportingErrors](http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/ReportingErrors) By the way, python2.6 is rather old; maybe you should update to a more recent version of your distribution (if possible). By the way your paths look I’d assume you’re running Fedora, CentOS, or RHEL: I think Fedora 14 already had full support for Python2.7, and that was three and a half years ago; I think RHEL is -so far- stuck with Python2.6, but I can’t really confirm.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I just happened to have set up a centOS 6.5 cm for that same purpose this afternoon. The patched python file loads just fine, but the code doesn’t really work- however, I’m still figuring out what the original code was meant to do ( for some corner cases) and will be pushing a working, more beautiful version soon:-) Greetings, Marcus On April 7, 2014 8:15:17 PM CEST, Tom R.
