Hey Guys,

I got this error when I tried to run grc:

jacosta@godfather-desktop:~/gnuradio-3.3.0$ grc  
The program ‘grc’ can be found in the following packages:

- gnuradio-companion
- grc  
Try: sudo apt-get install 

However, when I ran ./configure it states that it will make grc. I  
don’t  
know how to solve this problem. can anyone help?

Thanks

## Jan

## Hi Jan, for my Ubuntu system I used this series of commands: ./bootstrap ./configure ./make ./make check sudo make install

my problems were all in finding the missing modules that the  
configure spit out as not compiled. Some of them are un-necessary,  
others I don’t know.

I found this configure online using Google:  
“./configure --disable-gr-msdd6000 --disable-gr-audio-oss  
–disable-gr-cvsd-vocoder --disable-gr-gpio --disable-gr-radar-mono  
–disable-gr-radio-astronomy --disable-gr-pager --disable-gr-atsc”

Yup this works.

That was pretty confusing.
