Hi list,

I was not getting reply on the previous thread so I though to start a  
new  
thread.

gnuradio version 3.7.7.1  
ubunutu 14.04 32-bit

I am trying to use gr-fec and I am having issues running examples  
located  
in gnuradio/gr-fec/examples/

When I run ber\_test.grc I get following error

Using Volk machine: avx\_32\_mmx\_orc  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “/home/gnuradio/gr-fec/examples/ber\_test.py”, line 267, in  
  
tb = ber\_test()  
File “/home/gnuradio/gr-fec/examples/ber\_test.py”, line 159, in  
**init**  
self.fec\_extended\_encoder\_0 =  
fec.extended\_encoder(encoder\_obj\_list=enc, threading=‘capillary’,  
puncpat=“puncpat”)

“/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/fec/extended\_encoder.py”,

read\_bitlist(puncpat),  
0))

line 47, in read\_bitlist

When I run tpc\_ber\_curve\_gen.grc I get following error

Using Volk machine: avx\_32\_mmx\_orc  
Traceback (most recent call last):

fecapi\_async\_decoders.grc runs without any errors.

Any Ideas what could be wrong ?
