UHD Failed to Install: build-gnuradio script not working properly for Ubuntu 9.04 (Fresh Install) +

GNU Radio
1

Hello ALL!

I setup a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 on a very old Toughbook 512MB
RAM,
Intel Pentium M 1.6GHz, 80GB HDD. My hardware is an USRP1 with a WBX on
slot A.
I downloaded and ran the build-gnuradio script with the proper security
permissions (sudo access) on my /home/user directory.
I ran the build script but I eventually get the message"UHD Failed to
Install" and the script exits.

Newbie questions?

Do I have to have the USRP1 connected to the unit?
Do I need to remove the libusb-0.1 from the Synaptic Package Manager?
Do I need to upgrade the OS to Ubuntu 9.,10?

Any help will be Greatly appreaciated!

Thanks,

TVZ

Instead of running the build-gnuradio script, can you follow the
instructions (http://gnuradio.org/redmine/wiki/gnuradio/UbuntuInstall)
for
9.04 as well as the UHD (
http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki) separately and
make
sure there are no problems doing that?

Thanks,
Tom

i just did the UHD compiling today. you can also make a *.deb file of
the uhd libraries. Check out the readme in the /uhd/host directory after
downloading it from git…Tom Any news about my issue ?

Marcus,

Attached is the UHD-install.log for your review. Setup: Ubuntu 9.04 +
USRP1 + WBX
Please let me know if you notice something strange with this setup
and/or if
you need additional files to inspect.

Again, thank you all in advance!

Could you try the latest version of the script–it now gives you an
opportunity to view the install log for UHD if it apparently fails.
This would
at least give some clues about why its failing.

    Hmm, it looks like during the “make install”, it didn’t install any of
    the “stuff” in /usr/local/bin that it normally installs.

So, assuming that your “uhd” git source was placed in $HOME, then do the
following:

cd $HOME/uhd/host/build
make clean
make >make.log 2>&1

Then see if there’s anything untoward in make.log
