Hi,

I have installed GNURadio 3.7.3 Live SDR Environment to my usb flash  
drive  
using LiLi (LinuxLive USB Creator) and made it secure for different  
boots.  
Now I am trying to install Gen2 created by Michael Buettner, from Cgran  
website.

I am following the steps of  
[http://staff.itee.uq.edu.au/ksb/gr-g2-howto.html](http://staff.itee.uq.edu.au/ksb/gr-g2-howto.html)

When I come to step 5,

cd gen2\_rfid/trunk/rfid; ./bootstrap  
./configure --prefix=/usr

I am having a problem, the terminal says:

​

_No package ‘gnuradio-core’ foundConsider adjusting the PKG\_CONFIG\_PATH  
environment variable if youinstalled software in a non-standard  
prefix.Alternatively, you may set the environment variables  
GNURADIO\_CORE\_CFLAGSand GNURADIO\_CORE\_LIBS to avoid the need to call  
pkg-config.See the pkg-config man page for more details._

So how should I change the PKG\_CONFIG\_PATH in Live SDR environment?

Best regards,

Bekir  
​

Take a look at the cgran page:  
[https://www.cgran.org/wiki/Gen2](https://www.cgran.org/wiki/Gen2)

That package is compatible with GNU Radio version 3.4. It would have to  
be  
update to 3.7 to work with your installed version of 3.7.3.
