You need to look at the text during the configure process to see why. I  
had a similar problem installing, I was missing several required  
packages. I installed them with apt-get and all went OK after that.

Usually it is because you don’t have some or other packages installed.  
As they are mainly audio related, that is good place to look.

If you have already made and installed it might be a good idea to go  
back.

sudo make uninstall  
make clean

Mike

PS - why not build the latest version?

Hi Mike

I have uninstalled and am trying to build the latest version  
But it is still missing some components

‘’’  
checking for mb-gcc… no  
usrp2 firmware requires mb-gcc. Not found  
Not building component usrp2-firmware.

* * *

The following components were skipped either because you asked not  
to build them or they didn’t pass configuration checks:

usrp2-firmware  
gcell  
gr-gcell  
gr-comedi  
gr-uhd

These components will not be built.  
‘’’

Can I download and install these components in any other manner??
