Hi, I have tried to follow instruction from: [http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/BuildGuide](http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/BuildGuide), in order to build gnuradio manually from source. When i’ve reached the step make test command, it gives the following result at the end of the line: 99% tests passed, 2 tests failed out of 190 Total Test time (real) = 132.05 sec The following tests FAILED: 1 - qa\_volk\_test\_all (Failed) 185 - qa\_codec2\_vocoder (Failed) Is there some methods to resolve this problem? And my next question is, which methods are better install gnuradio using pybombs or build manually from source? Regarding the pybombs, i’ve tried this method before and it’s succesfully run gnuradio for my usrp N210, the problem is i have to run ./pybombs env and source $prefix/setup\_env.sh commands manually each time i restart the machine. Is there methods to run this process automatically in our system or machine (i’m using Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 32 bit)? Thanks for your explanations. Andy ---

Hi Andy, I highly recommend using pybombs. For unfamiliar readers the instructions are here: [http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/pybombs/wiki](http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/pybombs/wiki) To set the environment variables on startup just add the ‘source blahblahblah’ path that ‘./pybombs env’ gives you to the end of your ‘~/.bashrc’ file. The great thing about pybombs is that you don’t need to install everything as root and to uninstall everything (unlike the build-gnuradio script) all you do is delete the ‘target’ directory or run ‘./pybombs remove’. A directory called ‘target’ will be made in the same directory that the pybombs folder is placed in so I advise making a folder called something like ‘~/sdr/gr/’ and then run the ‘git clone’ command inside that.
