Has anybody ran into issues with or had success with installing Gnuradio on Fedora 20 with Boost 1.54? I am currently updating my system from Fedora 19 and Boost 1.53 and am running into build errors on Gnuradio master branch and v3.7.2.1 tag (at libgnuradio-blocks-3.7.\*.so for both). For the OS update, I did not do a clean install of the OS (not preferred, but this is on a work machine and I didn’t want to take the time to reset my development environment). My initial issue was with gr\_modtool not finding boost 1.53 libs; legit since I had updated to 1.54 with the OS update. I also did rm the build directory completely when running cmake to ensure no contamination from previous builds each compilation. Thank you in advance for help in this issue. Michael B. ---

I have solved my issue. This was a cockpit error consisting of me not rebuilding libuhd with the updated boost libraries before updating gnuradio.

The question is why gr\_modtool is still looking for boost 1.53 and not 1.54. Are there remnants of boost-1.53 still on your system? -TT
