Not able to run grc

hi josh, previously I used the gnuradio3.1.3, where i able to run grc,
but problem with audio-alsa

so download the latest version of gnuradio, and configure
I download via ’ svn co http://gnuradio.org/svn/gnuradio/trunk gnuradio

The following GNU Radio components have been successfully configured:

config
gruel
omnithread
gnuradio-core
pmt
mblock
usrp
usrp2
gr-usrp
gr-usrp2
gr-msdd6000
gr-audio-alsa
gr-audio-jack
gr-audio-oss
gr-audio-portaudio
gr-atsc
gr-cvsd-vocoder
gr-gpio
gr-gsm-fr-vocoder
gr-pager
gr-radar-mono
gr-radio-astronomy
gr-trellis
gr-video-sdl
gr-wxgui
gr-qtgui
gr-sounder
gr-utils
gnuradio-examples
grc

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
gr-gcell
gr-audio-osx
gr-audio-windows
gr-comedi

after that when I try to run grc from command
following message come
[root@tkp tushar]# grc
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/grc”, line 25, in
from gnuradio.grc.platforms.base.Constants import VERSION
ImportError: No module named grc.platforms.base.Constants

please guide me,
thanks and regards
tushar.

I assume after configure, you did make and sudo make install.

Then perhaps you PYTHONPATH is not setup properly. Run the following
command from the terminal: python -c “import gnuradio” does it produce
an error? Can you run any of the gnuradio programs, like usrp_fft.py?

-Josh

By giving the python path I able to open grc package.
But still simple sound prog. in not running.
I able to run audio_tone.py on command prompt.
also test the audio_fft.py on command prompt. both run fine.
But on grc any example given same erro.

root@tkp tushar]# export
PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages

[root@tkp tushar]# grc

thanks and regards
tushar

in addition to export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages

you may need to add the following to your .bashrc

export BOOST_PREFIX=/opt/boost_1_37_0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$BOOST_PREFIX/lib

Thanks Josh
after typing all export I able to run GRC.

Now my question is , in previous GRC, we got help like color- for
float, complex, number, query for usrp board
But Here I do not able to find such help,

Also how can i remove my previous version of gnuradio3.1.3, or no need
to remove it.

pl guide me
thanks and regards

Usrp probe exists:
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/GNURadioCompanion#Execution

And there are menu items for grc and usrp probe if your OS supports it:
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/GNURadioCompanion#InstallingIconsMimeTypeandMenuItems

The keyboard short cuts are listed in the menus. Other short cuts are
listed here: http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/GNURadioCompanion#UsageTips

The color help menu, sorry, that got lost along the way. Most blocks
have an output/input type that will tell you. I will add the color table
back in somehow. In the meantime, blue=complex, red=float, green=int,
yellow=short, purple=byte/char

Also how can i remove my previous version of gnuradio3.1.3, or no need

if you have the old build directory from 3.1.3, run sudo make uninstall
this will also remove files that you want, so…
then in your current gnuradio build directory, run sudo make install

-Josh

but it didn’t worked for me. I had installed the latest version of GNU
radio (gnuradio-3.2) and was trying to run GRC. Can you please help me
for this.

You have to set the PYTHONPATH. This is not a GRC problem, this is a
gnuradio installation problem. I bet that if you try to run other
gnuradio apps, you will see a similar problem.

Read the part about the PYTHONPATH
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/FedoraInstall

Also I was wondering that is it possible to see the source code
associated with the flow graph that we make in GRC? or the source code
of the specific block such as BPSK modulator?

The generated code is in the same folder as your saved flow graph. By
default, its called top_block.py

Source code for modulators are here:
http://gnuradio.org/trac/browser/gnuradio/trunk/gnuradio-core/src/python/gnuradio/blks2impl

Hi Josh, I am facing the same problem as Tushar did. I am getting an
error as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/grc”, line 25, in
from gnuradio.grc.platforms.base.Constants import VERSION
ImportError: No module named grc.platforms.base.Constants
[root@Somya /]#

I also tried the path solution which you mentioned in the earlier post,
but it didn’t worked for me. I had installed the latest version of GNU
radio (gnuradio-3.2) and was trying to run GRC. Can you please help me
for this.

Also I was wondering that is it possible to see the source code
associated with the flow graph that we make in GRC? or the source code
of the specific block such as BPSK modulator?

Thanks & Regards,
Somya A.
