Hi I have just installed gnuradio onto Fredora 8. I installed Fedora 8. Connected to the internet. Let Fedora do its automatic updates. I then ran the following command
yum install gnuradio There were about 10 dependent packages that needed to be installed. Once all the downloads were finished I had gnuradio installed. The gnuradio examples were in a separate package. >From memory I think the command to install it was yum install gnuradio-examples. Notes on my install I was running Fedora 8 as a virtual machine in VMware. I also installed GnuRadio Companion (grc) well worth while. The install was done without a usrp connected. Hope this helps Cameron On Wed, 21 May 2008 21:00:22 +0000, "Mr. mollasadra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > Since my last question (which was on installing GNU Radio on VM-ware) I > have abandoned that approach and now am trying it out on an actual > machine. > I apologize in advance if this question seems too long, I'm just going to > walk through everything I did to get to where I am now > (so in the process it might even turn out to be a resource for other > first-timers who are having problems) > I'm using fedora 8 (and through out this the USRP board is not plugged > in). > > So after going through a brand new Fedora 8 installation, to get a > working GNU Radio I first did this: > $ yum isntall gnuradio > > since I wasn't sure what exactly had happened, I kind of disregarded it > and continued with this path: > > did this: > $ yum install sdcc > > then did these: > $ yum groupinstall "Engineering and Scientific" "Development Tools" > $ yum install fftw-devel cppunit-devel wxPython-devel libusb-devel guile > boost-devel alsa-lib-devel numpy > > > then added these two manually to "/home/[user]/.bashrc": > > PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages > PATH=/usr/libexec/sdcc:$PATH > > > then I restart the computer for the changes to take effect > then I finish it off by doing theses: > > $ svn co http://gnuradio.org/svn/gnuradio/branches/releases/3.1 gnuradio > $ cd gnuradio > $ ./bootstrap > $ ./configure > $ make > $ make check > $ sudo make install > > > all the installation worked as it should. > BTW: after the ./configure I get this (which seems normal): > > The following components were skipped either because you asked not > to build them or they didn't pass configuration checks: > > gr-audio-jack > gr-audio-osx > gr-audio-portaudio > gr-audio-windows > gr-comedi > > > > Now for a test I ran this: > $ cd /gnuradio-examples/python/audio/ > $ python dial_tone.py > > > > > Which gives me this error: > > audio_alsa_sink[hw:0,0]: set_period_time_near failed: Invalid > argument > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "dial_tone.py", line 55, in <module> > my_top_block().run() > File "dial_tone.py", line 48, in __init__ > dst = audio.sink (sample_rate, options.audio_output) > File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gnuradio/audio_alsa.py", > line 236, in sink > return _audio_alsa.sink(*args) > RuntimeError: audio_alsa_sink > > > > I had seen this error before and the cause of it (as I had found on > theses forums) was another program (youtube's video player in browser) > using up the sound device. so by closing down FireFox it worked, but now > it makes no difference.
