Report configure - Packages skipped

GNU Radio
1

Hello everyone,
I ran into a problem during installation of GNU Radio and I hope someone
can help me.
I have a Ubuntu 9.04, GNU Radio 3.2.2 and a USRP2.
I want to emphasize that I still has the best guide on the wiki,
particularly that relating to dependencies. To this I can not explain
why some skip.
During the execution of the command ./configure I get the following
reports:

The following components were skipped either because you asked not
to build them or they didn’t pass configuration checks:
usrp2-firmware
These components will not be built.

The following GNU Radio components have been successfully configured:
config
gruel
omnithread
gnuradio-core
pmt
mblock
usrp2
gr-usrp2
gr-audio-alsa
gr-audio-oss
gr-cvsd-vocoder
gr-gsm-fr-vocoder
gr-pager
gr-radio-astronomy
gr-trellis
gr-video-sdl
gr-wxgui
gr-qtgui
gnuradio-examples
grc
docs
You my now run the make command to build these components.

The following components were skipped either because you asked not
to build them or they didn’t pass configuration checks:
gcell
usrp
gr-usrp
gr-gcell
gr-audio-jack
gr-audio-osx
gr-audio-portaudio
gr-audio-windows
gr-gpio
gr-radar-mono
gr-sounder
gr-utils
These components will not be built.

In this respect I do not understand why follow packages are skipped:
"usrp2-firmware, “usrp” and “gr-utils.” Moreover, with regard to others
is normal that I should be skipped?
I hope that I answer so many, so thanks in advance.

To be precise I have installed:
SWIG 1.3.36, G++ 4.3.3, AUTOMAKE1.9 1.9.6, LIBTOOL 2.2.6, PYTHON-DEV
2.6.2, LIBCPPUNIT-DEV 1.12.1, SDCC 2.8.0, LIBASOUND2-DEV 1.0.18,
LIBSDL1.2-DEV 1.2.13, PYTHON-WGXTK2.8 2.8.9,
SUBERVISION 1.5.4, GUILE-1.8-DEV 1.8.5, LIBQT4-DEV 4.5.0, CCACHE 2.4.16,
PYTHON-OPENGL 3.0.0, LIBGSL0-DEV 1.12.1, PYTHON-CHEETAH 2.0.1,
PYTHON-LXML 2.1.5, LIBQWT5-QT4-DEV 5.1.1,
LIBQWTPLOT3D-QT4-DEV 0.2.7, QT4-DEV-TOOLS 4.5.0, LIBFFTW3-DEV 3.1.2,
DOXYGEN 1.5.8, PYTHON-NUMPY-EXT 1.2.1

You don’t really need to post twice.

You can grep through the output of configure for “skipping” or
something similar and see what failed. It’s usually pretty
descriptive what it can’t find.

In particular, make sure you have the small device compiler installed
(SDCC). Not sure about gr-utils.

I think that simply depends on gr-usrp due to the usrp_*.py scripts. It
should work once usrp is up and running, it doesn’t have much stuff of
it’s own.
