Uninstall GNU Radio 3.5.3 (installed with building-gnuradio script)

GNU Radio
1

Hey,

I installed GNU Radio with the script you can get here:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/InstallingGR#Using-the-build-gnuradio-script

Software:
OpenBTS P2.8
GNU Radio 3.5.3 (I want to uninstall this version to install 3.3)
Asterisk 1.8
Ubuntu 11.10
Kernel 3.0.22

Hardware:
USRP1 with 2 daugtherboards (RFX1800)

  1. Unfortunatelly I installed a version which is too new for working
    with
    OpenBTS so I want to uninstall it.

didn’t work so I think I have to remove it manually.
(Locate gnuradio and them remove all files.)

But i’m not sure if that is the right way so it would be great if you
can
say me if I’m right or not.

  1. And another question: Last week I could start grc without errors,
    after
    I installed mISDNuser and LCR (for OpenBSC,
    I want to realize both projects) it doens’t work anymore and I get
    following error:

(grc:4471): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path:

“pixmap”,
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/grc”, line 33, in
from gnuradio.grc import VERSION
ImportError: cannot import name VERSION

It isn’t important to know why the error exists but it is interesting
for
me to understand it a little bit better.

Google & Co. can’t help me in this case but perhaps I am searching for
the
wrong things. At the moment I am very insecure
because there were many problems with the installation of the programms
I
need for OpenBTS/OpenBSC.

It would be gratefull if you can help me or if you can point me in the
right direction.

Regards
Ellen

There is no need to install gnuradio for OpenBTS + USRP1. You just
need libusrp1

There was another thread on this. Unless I misunderstood, I think you
can install libusrp from apt-get. If that doesnt work, you can just
install libusrp from an older gnuradio without building and installing
the rest of gnuradio.

I think this is going to come up a lot. Someone should probably update
that wiki page for building openbts.

File “/usr/bin/grc”, line 33, in
from gnuradio.grc import VERSION
ImportError: cannot import name VERSION

This is a sign of mismatch between grc in your bin path and the library
in your site-packages.

If you really need to manage multiple installs, you should put them in
different install paths and set environment variables accordingly.

Thanks a lot for your answers!

Now there is still sn error when I want to start OpenBTS. Perhaps you
know
it. First I describe what I did:

I deleted all components from gnuradio 3.5.3 and followed this for
installing libusrp:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/OpenBTSBuildingAndRunning#Building-dependencies

I installed GNU Radio 3.3 from here:
http://gnuradio.org/releases/gnuradio/

Before I continued:

apt-get -y install libfontconfig1-dev libxrender-dev libpulse-dev swig g++
automake autoconf python-dev libfftw3-dev libcppunit-dev libboost-all-dev
libusb-dev fort77 sdcc sdcc-libraries libsdl1.2-dev python-wxgtk2.8
git-core guile-1.8-dev libqt4-dev python-numpy ccache python-opengl
libgsl0-dev python-cheetah python-lxml doxygen qt4-dev-tools
libqwt5-qt4-dev libqwtplot3d-qt4-dev pyqt4-dev-tools python-qwt5-qt4

(I know that is a little bit too much but I wanted to be sure that
everything is alright.:slight_smile:

Then:

./configure --disable-all-components --enable-usrp --enable-gruel

make softlinks for boost and usrp-files

Perhaps a stupid question but should I do these steps again before
starting
OpenBTS?

./bootstrap
./configure
make
make install

When without them I start OpenBTS:

Starting the system…
OpenBTS: GSMCommon.cpp:140: unsigned int GSM::uplinkFreqKHz(GSM::GSMBand,
unsigned int): Assertion `(ARFCN>511)&&(ARFCN<886)’ failed.
Aborted

But this is not the first time that this alert comes when I want to
start
OpenBTS and the USRP1 is on (with the correct clock).

Thanks a lot for your answers and your help.

I have found the answer of my last question by myself:

I configured OpenBTS new, changed the OpenBTS.sql and smqueue.sql files,
did

sqlite3 -init ./apps/OpenBTS.example.sql /etc/OpenBTS/OpenBTS.db
sqlite3 -init smqueue/smqueue.example.sql /etc/OpenBTS/smqueue.db

But now there is a new error:

ALERT 3074639568 TRXManager.cpp:409:setPower: SETPOWER failed with status
1
1336484679.264657 3074639568:
Welcome to OpenBTS. Type “help” to see available commands.
OpenBTS> ALERT 3041119088 TRXManager.cpp:409:setPower: SETPOWER failed
with status 1
ALERT 3065535344 TRXManager.cpp:86:clockHandler: TRX clock interface
timed out, assuming TRX is dead.
Aborted

I am not sure if there is still a problem with gnu radio or it is just
an
error from OpenBTS.
(The configuration in OpenBTS.config are right and the correct softlink
is
set so this shouldn’t be the problem.)

*lsusrp:
*

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/lsusrp”, line 25, in
from gnuradio import usrp
ImportError: cannot import name usrp

so it seems that there are still problems with gnuradio but i don’t know
how to locate them because I followed these guide:

http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/OpenBTSBuildingAndRunning#Building-and-Installing

ls -lR /dev/bus/usb | grep usrp:

crw-rw---- 1 root usrp 189, 3 2012-05-09 08:38 004

so the USRP seems to be recognized.

So should I install gnuradio for a third time or is the error another?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the hole E-Mail-spam…

Now I think I fixed the error with lsusrp/GNU Radio. I write my steps
how I
solved the problems for the case that someboy will get the same problem:

A soft link to the right directory python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/usrp
was needed.
After that I testet Python without errors:

python

from gnuradio import usrp

lsusrp

usrp: failed to find usrp[6]
usrp: failed to find usrp[7]

So I think the USRP is recognized and python and lsusrp are working
correctly.

So the one problem is the OpenBTS but I think that’s not a topic for
this
mailinglist.

Thank you for your help and your answers.

Hey folks,

another problem which makes me lost:

I have read that usrp_fft.py has to work if I installed libusrp/GNU
Radio3.3 correctly and the USRP1 is connected with the right clock and
the
computer.

But if I want to run usrp_fft.py I get:

File

locate libgruel shows be:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgruel-dev.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgruel-dev.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgruel0.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgruel0.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgruel0.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgruel0.postrm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgruel0.shlibs

So there is already libgruel installed but perhaps usrp_fft.py is
searching
for the wrong version. Is it possible that I didn’t delete all files
from
the first installation of GNU Radio (3.5.3) before I installed GNu Radio
3.3?

So this means I have to delete all GNU Radio files again and to a new
installation?

I want to be sure if I have to do this before I delete all because
perhaps
there is another solution.

Unfortunatelly Google can’t help me so I need some help from you again.

Ellen
