I have set up RFNoC environments in the past, but I am trying to embrace  
pybombs and am attempting to setup an environment now using that  
approach instead.

I see on the rfnoc:-GettingStarted WiKi page, that it can’t be done  
directly using pybombs. So here are the steps I //attempted// to take,  
but appear to have not done correctly.

\*cd ~  
\*git clone git://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs  
\*cd pybombs/  
\*./pybombs config  
\*\*Use the defaults except that I turned on DOXygen as well as did a  
forcepkgs=uhd (per the rfnoc wiki)  
\*./pybombs install gnuradio  
\*drink coffee and twiddle thumbs  
\*cd src  
\*git clone [GitHub - EttusResearch/uhd: The USRP™ Hardware Driver Repository](https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd.git)  
\*git checkout rfnoc-devel  
\*git submodule init  
\*git submodule update  
\*cd ~/pybombs  
\*./pybombs install gr-ettus (this last statement per the rfnoc wiki  
again)

And here is where it fails with the error:  
Settled on prefix: /home/jason/target

So I am curious where I am going wrong. Does anyone have the working  
steps for getting an rfnoc development environment setup using the  
PyBombs infrastructure? Maybe I needed to install UHD and gr-ettus  
somewhere else in the pybombs structure?

Thanks!
