Hi,

I just tried to install gnuradio (ref:  
[GNU Radio Manual and C++ API Reference: Build Instructions and Information](http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/build_guide.html))

until :  
make test

the result is :  
…  
98% tests passed, 3 tests failed out of 193

Total Test time (real) = 117.72 sec

The following tests FAILED:  
1 - qa\_volk\_test\_all (Failed)  
144 - qa\_constellation (Failed)  
187 - qa\_codec2\_vocoder (Failed)  
Errors while running CTest  
make: \*\*\* [test] Error 8

then, from  
[http://gnuradio.4.n7.nabble.com/Install-qa-volk-test-all-fails-td51420.html](http://gnuradio.4.n7.nabble.com/Install-qa-volk-test-all-fails-td51420.html),  
there are some recommendations, so I follow with:

sudo make install  
sudo ldconfig  
volk\_profile  
make test

the result is still same:

The following tests FAILED:  
1 - qa\_volk\_test\_all (Failed)  
144 - qa\_constellation (Failed)  
187 - qa\_codec2\_vocoder (Failed)  
Errors while running CTest  
make: \*\*\* [test] Error 8

for other additional information, might be needed, refer to

As mentioned in the linked thread, doing this should not change  
anything.  
There is no such thing as bootstrapping VOLK.

This is the first I case I’ve heard of this protokernel failing. We’ve  
had  
problems with ORC on other platforms, but never before on an x86\_64. As  
a  
band-aid you could just remove ORC and rebuild (or run cmake again with  
-DENABLE\_ORC=False), but the negative results from generic are also kind  
of  
interesting.

In the mean time, can you tell me

- which version of GNU Radio you’re building?
- what version of orc are you running?

I have run my cmake with -DENABLE\_ORC=False, sudo make test again, and  
the  
result is:

99% tests passed, 2 tests failed out of 194

Total Test time (real) = 128.33 sec

The following tests FAILED:  
144 - qa\_constellation (Failed)  
188 - qa\_codec2\_vocoder (Failed)  
Errors while running CTest  
make: \*\*\* [test] Error 8

any ideas?

regards,  
Bass
