Error with rev. 9728: libusrp2.so does not exist

I downloaded rev. 9728 from the svn today and after installing it when
I tried to run find_usrps I got the following error:

find_usrps: error while loading shared libraries: libusrp2.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) and I followed the ubuntu
instructions to install gnu radio and the instructions at
http://gnuradio.org/trac/browser/gnuradio/trunk/README.building-boost
to install boost 1.36. There did not appear to be any errors with the
installations of gnuradio or boost. All tests passed when I ran make
check.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you,
Kyle

Thank you, that got rid of that error.

I’m having some issues getting the USRP2 running in usrp2_fft.py now.
When I try to change the frequency in the GUI, the application
freezes. It was working at first, but seems to have stopped working
after I put in an invalid value for the decimation and had to force it
closed. Rebooting and unplugging the USRP2 hasn’t helped.

Also, since I have connected the USRP2 I have not been able to use my
gigE port to connect to the internet (I only have 1 ethernet port in
my computer at the moment and have to switch wires between connecting
to the USRP2 and the network). Does anyone know if some setting has
been changed by the USRP2 that would cause this problem? It wasn’t
until I successfully ran find_usrps that I got this problem.

Thank you,
Kyle

Here is some more information I’ve figured out while playing around with
this:
-Changing the center frequency freezes the GUI, however if I enter a
value in the frequency text box and then change the decimation it does
not freeze. It does not change the center frequency though (this is
why I thought it was working before, I had no signal going into the
radio when I first tried it out, so I couldn’t see that the
downconversion frequency hadn’t changed)
-Changing the gain does not do anything

I’m also still having the issue with not being able to connect to
connect to my network now that the USRP2 is set up.

If you have any suggestions or ideas what may be causing these
problems, please let me know.

Thanks,
Kyle

As was noted on this list earlier this week, the parameters are
not currently changable in the GUI. If you’re so inclined, please
debug the problem and submit a patch.

We recommend a dedicated GigE ethernet port on the host and a direct
connect (no switch) between the USRP2 and the host.

If you have any suggestions or ideas what may be causing these
problems, please let me know.

We use ethernet PAUSE frames to flow control the host. It’s possible
that if there’s a switch in the path, that it’s not dealing with them
properly. It’s not uncommon. Hence our recommendation for a direct
connection.

Note too that the USRP2 is capable of totally swamping medium
peformance systems. 800Mb/s (decim=4) is probably way too much for
many systems. Try decim=16.
