Hi all guys, I have again prob;lem building new version of gnuradio on my RHEL6 machine. The error is following: [26%] Building CXX object gr-blocks/lib/CMakeFiles/gnuradio-blocks.dir/message\_strobe\_random\_impl.cc.o In file included from /home/savi\_ne/tools/gnuradio-3.7.3/gr-blocks/lib/message\_strobe\_random\_impl.cc:27: /home/savi\_ne/tools/gnuradio-3.7.3/gr-blocks/lib/message\_strobe\_random\_impl.h:48: error: ‘mt19937’ in namespace ‘boost::random’ does not name a type /home/savi\_ne/tools/gnuradio-3.7.3/gr-blocks/lib/message\_strobe\_random\_impl.cc: In constructor ‘gr::blocks::message\_strobe\_random\_impl::message\_strobe\_random\_impl(pmt::pmt\_t, gr::blocks::message\_strobe\_random\_distribution\_t, float, float)’: /home/savi\_ne/tools/gnuradio-3.7.3/gr-blocks/lib/message\_strobe\_random\_impl.cc:57: error: class ‘gr::blocks::message\_strobe\_random\_impl’ does not have any field named ‘d\_rng’ /home/savi\_ne/tools/gnuradio-3.7.3/gr-blocks/lib/message\_strobe\_random\_impl.cc: In member function ‘void gr::blocks::message\_strobe\_random\_impl::update\_dist()’: /home/savi\_ne/tools/gnuradio-3.7.3/gr-blocks/lib/message\_strobe\_random\_impl.cc:89: error: ‘d\_rng’ was not declared in this scope make[2]: \*\*\* [gr-blocks/lib/CMakeFiles/gnuradio-blocks.dir/message\_strobe\_random\_impl.cc.o] Error 1 make[1]: \*\*\* [gr-blocks/lib/CMakeFiles/gnuradio-blocks.dir/all] Error 2 Has anybody had this error before?

Hi Nemanja, that issue has been fixed in more recent GR versions (it was a incompatibility with old Boost versions). If you do not wish to update GNU Radio, just replace boost::random::mt19937 by boost::mt19937 in message\_strobe\_random\_impl. Greetings, Marcus PS: Googling for “error: mt19937 in namespace boost::random does not name a type” turns up my previous posts about the issue. This is really just a friendly reminder that you should make sure that your questions have not yet been answered before posting to the list, since this is more often than not even faster than asking 🙂 ---

Ok, well this is getting boring. For things like this, best to jump into our IRC chatroom to work through it. No one wants to see us go back in forth on “try this and that.” Any followup should be a resolution. Tom ---

But my guess is that it’s an API change in a QT version that we missed. (We’ll be updating the QT minimum version in 3.8). When asking questions related to a dependency like this, it’s always best to give us the the version of the library. Tom ---

It should not have even been enabled without finding QT4 on your system. Are you sure that’s the only version of QT you have installed? And yes, Redhat is years behind. I suggest using pybombs ( [gnuradio.org/pybombs](http://gnuradio.org/pybombs)), which was build for such purposes. Tom ---
