After a lot of work, I am a beginner concerning gnuradio, only an
average linux user concentration on PCLinuxOS, now have an awfull lot of
files installed in my sandbox. I have had many goes at installing
‘pybombs’ and I think I have an understanding of the concept of
installing from source.
What really knocked me about was a very precise position during the
process the file ‘boost’ would terminate the process without any error
message that I could find. The lack of finding the reason/errors
probably because I know very little about compiling details.
What came to my rescue was during one attempt the ‘boost’
download/install process became atrocciously slow but at the same time I
could see it was trying to connect to my usual mirror (internode in
Australia). I gave up but then a day of two later boots installed and
the process could continue. (A resh install).
Ufotunately I encounterd more files where the process simply was
terminated with the command prompt but also reason quite clear, such as
“source not found…” Others it was not so clear to me, so I decided to
continue anyway as some files by inspection in src seemed to indicate
that a lot of data had been downloaded. (when failures occurred after
untarring)
I edited the config.dat and just kept telling the process that the
programs were installed. This way I arrived at the end, with ‘gnuradio’
beeing the last file to be installed.
I had in mind to test the “./pybombs update” expecting this to clearly
tell me that a file would be missing. That did not happen.
I just got a long list of files with “True” at the end
I have a record of my attempted install in chronological order.
Here is my first met really failing proces:

What is this telling me, is there a fix I can apply.
