So, first thing’s first:  
_GNR version:_ 3.7.2.1 (from apt)  
_Ubuntu ver._ 14.04  
_cmake ver:_ 2.8

…Now, I attempting to build gr-drm and it spits out this error on  
cmake  
…/

_– checking for module ‘gnuradio-runtime’-- package  
‘gnuradio-runtime’  
not found \* INCLUDES=GNURADIO\_RUNTIME\_INCLUDE\_DIRS-NOTFOUND \*  
LIBS=GNURADIO\_RUNTIME\_LIBRARIES-NOTFOUND-- Could NOT find

* * *

_TL;DR:_ Trying to build module but it cannot find gnuradio, nor  
gnuradio-ruintime and fails. Install prefix is /lib (?)

GNURadio also appears to be missing the FindGnuradio cmake files ax  
well.  
GNURadio itself works just fine. Any pointers on what’s going on?

gnuradio-runtime does not exist in 3.7. Basically this module isn’t  
compatible with 3.7, you’ll have to either update the module or use  
GNU Radio 3.6x

Interesting. I never had this issue building in Arch Linux with 3.7.

I’m using the Stable branch:

gnuradio-runtime definitely exists in GR 3.7. Nathan  
was probably thinking about gnuradio-core, which  
has been deprecated.

Usually this issue is solved by setting PKG\_CONFIG\_PATH  
to the directory that contains gnuradio-runtime.pc

Is it /lib or /usr/lib? I guess the latter. Can you confirm all the .so  
files are in the right place? I.e. libgnuradio-runtime.so?

Have you installed the gnuradio-dev package as well? (needed if you  
compile against the libraries)

Built from source and the problem seems solved. Oddly enough, this whole  
out-of-tree cmake issues seem to be common from what Google results  
showed  
me.
