Fixes to GNU Radio install process on Fedora 9

GNU Radio
1

Hello,
Please, could someone update the installation instructions for Fedora
available at http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/FedoraInstall.

The second “yum” command (the large one) must include “python-devel”,
at least for Fedora 8 and 9, in order to make “./configure” to work.

Additionally, the following symbolic links must be created for SDCC
for Fedora 9 (all the SDCC Fedora 9 binaries are now preceded with
“sdcc-”):

ln -s /usr/bin/sdcc-sdcc /usr/bin/sdcc

ln -s /usr/bin/sdcc-asx8051 /usr/bin/asx8051

Finally, the following command can be added to meet the dependencies
required to compile almost all GNU Radio modules:

yum install SDL-devel portaudio-devel jack-audio-connection-kit-devel

This will allow you to build all GNU Radio components except:
gr-audio-osx
gr-audio-windows
gr-comedi

Thanks,

Raul S.

Done. Thanks.

I prefer the PATH fix mentioned on the page.

Eric, you’re completely right!
My fault, as I didn’t apply the PATH fix this time before running
./configure.

Thanks,
