I just installed gnuradio and uhd via pybomb, sourced the env file in the prefix dir, and attempted to do “from gnuradio import uhd”. gnuradio imports and inspection shows it’s the prefixed version, but uhd fails with ImportError: No module named uhd. Do I need to pass pybomb some kind of special instruction to get gr-uhd installed? Thanks, -Doug ---

You might use ‘./pybombs rnd gnuradio’ to blow away gnuradio completely from pybombs to make sure there’s no left-over configuration steps that are preventing it from finding uhd. Tom ---

Huh, strange… I’m trying to see a pattern in you disabled components, but fail to find one. I think Tom was right, this was probably due to CMake missing something on a previous run and now not catching up with everything. Hint: After doing your clean rebuild, you could have a look at the CMakeCache search for your prefix in the various include paths; maybe CMake (out of some misfortune or other) didn’t look into your prefix directory.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ah ok, now your error matches what I was expecting, which we both can pretend is a good thing 😉 you could do several things to find where everything went wrong: 1. check if prefix/lib(64)/python(2.7)/site-packages/gnuradio/uhd exists 2. Check if UHD was really installed properly; if it was, there will be executables like uhd\_usrp\_probe in your prefix/bin directory, and headers in your prefix/include/uhd folder 3. Check the build directory of GNU Radio, to make sure (CMakeCache.txt) to check if the GNU Radio build system noticed UHD.

Thanks Tom and Marcus, Yeah not sure about the error discrepancy, must have been paraphrasing 🙂 UHD is where it should be and was detected successfully by cmake, but these couple lines from CMakeCache.txt make me realize I have bigger problems than just gr-uhd: \_gr\_disabled\_components:INTERNAL=doxygen;sphinx;gr-fft;gr-filter;gr-analog;gr-digital;gr-atsc;gr-comedi;gr-channels;gr-pager;gr-qtgui;gr-trellis;gr-uhd;gr-video-sdl;gr-vocoder;gr-wavelet;gr-wxgui;gr-zeromq \_gr\_enabled\_components:INTERNAL=python-support;testing-support;volk;gnuradio-runtime;gr-ctrlport;gr-blocks;gnuradio-companion;gr-fec;gr-audio;gr-noaa;gr-utils;gr-fcd I have no idea why half the included modules are disabled. I’ll go ahead and do a pybomb rnd as Tom suggest and see what happens. V/r, -Doug ---

Wish I had a clever solution to all this, but I ended up just nuking my prefix and pybombs dirs and starting over with pybombs -\> uhd -\> gnuradio. All is good now. I think it was in fact a failed build early on that wasn’t cleaning up quite right. Thanks! -Doug ---

And likely the amount of time it would take to get there would be greater than just rebuilding everything 🙂 Tom
