Problem in Installing gnuradio-3.2

Hi , I am facing
a problem in installing gnuradio-3.2. I was able to install
gnuradio-3.1.3 properly but when I tried to install this newer version
on the top of the older version, maximum of the packages are not
getting configured including gnuradio-core and usrp.

When I
started installing this newer version I faced the same problem with the
major packages, then one of my friend suggested to add the library path
for some missing packages (mainly gsl-which was already installed on my
system but the configure script was not able to detect it) and then by
doing that I was able to get maximum of them configured and then I did
the usual make, make check and make install. After that when I tried to
run grc it got the following error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File “/usr/local/bin/grc”, line 25, in
   from gnuradio.grc.platforms.base.Constants import VERSION
ImportError: No module named grc.platforms.base.Constants
[root@Somya gnuradio]#

As
you suggested in the reply, I sett ed the path for Python, but was not
able to get it over. but I was able to run any other python example
namely the audio_tone one.Then I again tried to configure the newer
version without adding any library path but faced the same problem with
the packages.Â

I am attaching the log ./configure file for the reference (open it with
word pad). I am a newbie to Linux and to gnuradio. I would really
appreciate if anybody can help me regarding this matter.

Thanks & Regards,
Somya A.

You should always a make uninstall before installing a newer version.
Otherwise parts of the old installation may interfere with the new
parts. Components of different versions can not be expected to work
together.

Please tell us more about your setting. Refer to
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/ReportingErrors#WhatIfIstillHaveaProblem

Your configure output shows:

gr-audio-alsa
gr-pager
gr-radar-mono
gr-radio-astronomy
gr-trellis
gr-video-sdl
gr-wxgui
gr-qtgui
gr-sounder
gr-utils
gnuradio-examples
grc

You won’t get any far without a least gnuradio-core, gr-wxgui and
gr-utils, and gr-usrp if you want to use the USRP. You won’t get any
soundcard usage without one of gr-audio-alsa, gr-audio-jack,
gr-audio-oss or gr-audio-portaudio on Linux, preferably gr-audio-alsa.
You won’t have the helpful examples without gnuradio-examples.

Did you disable some of them in the configure command line? How did you
configure? The output is only a very limited help without the command
line generating it.

Hi
I could install grc successfully…
But when i try to execute it, i get the error:

Xlib: extension “RANDR” missing on display “/tmp/launch-zFqALC/:0”.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/grc”, line 33, in
from gnuradio.grc.platforms.base.Constants import VERSION
ImportError: No module named grc.platforms.base.Constants

a) I have checked my PYTHONPATH :
/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages:/opt/gnuradio/lib/python2.5/site-packages
b) I have added
export BOOST_PREFIX=/opt/boost_1_38_0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$BOOST_PREFIX/lib
but i did not understand the sigificance of adding this as i do not find
a
folder of boost_1_38_0 in the /opt directory!!

I still cannot execute the grc on my command prompt!!

Kindly help!

run this on the command line

python -c “from gnuradio import gr”

does it give an error? If so, python cannot find gnuradio. Is there a
folder called gnuradio in
/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages:/opt/gnuradio/lib/python2.5/site-packages?

where did you install boost?

a) I ran the command : “python -c …” and it DOES NOT give any error!
b) I do find a folder gnuradio in the path :
“/opt/gnuradio/lib/python2.5/site-packages”

  1. Which grc returned : “/usr/local/bin/grc”
  2. Removed grc from the same
  3. “which grc” again does not return any file
  4. sudo make install -C grc returns : “make: *** grc: No such file or
    directory. Stop.”

Do i have to configure, make and make install?

Thanks for the Support!

The following components were skipped either because you asked not

gr-radar-mono
These components will not be built.

What may have happened here is fallout from a reorganization of the
grc directories in the source/install tree on the trunk. You’re best
best is to manually go through /usr/local/{bin,lib,…} and remove all
traces of gnuradio, then go back to your gnuradio source tree and
start from the bootstrap step.

That’s a bit of overkill, but should clear the issue up.

Johnathan

its possible that you have the grc executable installed twice, and the
older one is taking precedence.

  1. Run the command: which grc

  2. What path does that return? Then remove that file.

  3. Run which grc again, is there a file? Remove that

  4. Run sudo make install -C grc

Hi
I figured out the error!
In addition to the PYTHONPATH i had
i needed to add the commands in this site:
https://radioware.nd.edu/documentation/install-guides/mac-os-x/preliminaries#section-3

and it worked
