For the future — It's better to copy and paste the text rather than a
screenshot. Some errors are best investigated by running parts of the
program, and plain text is usually easier to read (or make readable).
In your case, at least one problem is that you have a "~" in your path. "~"
is not part of regular pathname syntax — it is a special character in the
standard *shell, *just like "$" is for variables, but it means nothing to
other programs. So the error is probably because you don't have a directory
actually named "~".
You should replace the "~" with a literal path ("/home/eisman/" or whatever
your home directory actually is).

This is a very bad habit of thinking. Don't run something as root *until
you understand why you need to*, and especially not complex programs like
GNU Radio.
