Hello,

I recently decided to install the latest version using the git. Since I  
had  
the 3.2.2 version, I removed it all and then began the process…  
./bootstrap, ./configure (removing the unnecessary package etc) etc  
etc…  
Note that the “grc” package was installed.

The problem is, after I installed everything with no error message, when  
I  
try to run the grc, it simply seems that it wasn’t installed!

_mula@mula:~/Downloads/gnuradio$ grc_  
_The program ‘grc’ can be found in the following packages:_

- 
  - gnuradio-companion\*

- 
  - grc\*  
_Try: sudo apt-get install_ 

Even after installing every necessary packages etc and not having any  
error  
message, I’m still afraid I might have commited a mistake (I’m not a  
linux  
expert as well). A friend has also installed using the same steps and  
got it  
working.

Thanks!

Regards,  
Bernardo

GRC was renamed to “gnuradio-companion” to avoid a name conflict with  
another package. Try that instead.
