I use “sudo make install” to setup the gnuradio in ubuntu9.10. The
problem
is that I have to use “sudo” every time to run an
application(./benchmark_tx.py). Without running as a super user, I will
receive the error msg like could not load the firmware to FPGA through
USB,
permission denied. I searched previous threads that it was recommended
to
use “chmod g+s” under /usr/local/share to get the permission to write
this
directory. However, I was wondering if there is any other way to run
applications with USRP without stating as “sudo” everytime? Thank you!

I don’t know if it’s the recommended way, but you should be able to use
the “–prefix”- flag with the configuration- script.
Next time you install, try something like:
bootstrap
configure --prefix=~/gnuradio_install_path
make
make install
This way you will install gnuradio into “~/gnuradio_install_path/” (I
think). Thats the “usual” behavior of configure, but I’d check
“configure --help” before I do anything if I were you.
