Very basic question

Hi,

Have very basic question. I have installed UBUNTU 7.10 works fine. I
need to install gnuradio for my usrp. I have downloaded gnuradio-3.1.1.
tar.gz to my desktop

I refer to http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/DebianPackages. The first
relevent instruction tells me to:

$ sudo apt-get install gnuradio usrp

I receive the following messages:

Reading package lists…done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information…done
E: Couldn’t find find package gnuradio

If I substitute gnuradio for gnuradio-3.1.1.tar.gz I receive a similar
message.

I expect you have guessed that I am completly new to LINUX. Can
someone please help?

Thank you,

Frank

Hi,

Manually edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file by:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

2.a) To track the stable release branch, insert the following two lines
at the end of the edited file :

deb http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu stable main contrib
deb-src http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu stable main

2.b) To track the unstable release branch, insert the following two
lines at the end of the edited file :

deb http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu unstable main contrib
deb-src http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu unstable main

Update the package manager’s knowledge of the available packages by :

sudo apt-get update

Do :
sudo apt-get install gnuradio usrp
Add that username to the usrp group
sudo addgroup usrp
