Newbie trying to get CVS build to work

GNU Radio
1

Hello to all,

I am a newbie to gnuradio and also to linux so any help would be
appreciated. I have been trying to install gnuradio via cvs and I have
ran
into some problems. Here is the error that I get when I go to build
using:

$ ./for-all-dirs …/buildit 2>&1 | tee make.log

checking for Python include path… Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 2, in ?
ImportError: No module named distutils.sysconfig

configure: error: cannot find Python include path

build FAILED in /home/jensen/gr-build/gnuradio-core

I can see that it cannot find Python include path but what am I supposed
to
do to at this point to fix it?

Thanks,

Newell

Probably that the ‘python-devel’ package is not installed on your
system.
Usually, Python is installed, but not files needed for development. The
procedure is dependant of your Linux distibrution and you should consult
the
web site of your Linux distribution for more information.

For additionnal dependencies and instruction about installing GNU Radio,
have a look a this link, is very useful:

PS Whenever you meet an error about an include path not found, but the
package is installed, try to install package-devel.
