At long last,   I have working systems:

 - the shuttle SG31G2 with a 2.5 MHz Core 2 Duo is now dual booting Win 8.1 and 
Ubuntu 14.04.1. Windows and Ubuntu are each on their own 3G speed SSD’s. After 
multiple failing tries at the many recipes to get gnuradio/grc/gqrx up and 
running … including four, from scratch, installs of Ubuntu as well as three  
two hour runs of the illustrious <http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio> … 
I wiped the drive, installed Ubuntu 14.04.1 and then made one more try at the 
big script  … two hours later I plugged in my HackRF One and brought up 
“lesson1solution and it worked out of the box. I plugged in an RTL dongle and   
 it worked fine. I got out my Ham-It-Up and some ‘tweenies’ to connect the SMA 
female  on the up-converter to the PL259 on my 88 foot doublet.

 -  I have gutted my MacPorts on the iMac five times. I just kept getting 
segment fault errors in the executables produced. I gave it one more try and 
with a freshly installed MacPort and used “search” I then did a “port install 
gqrx @2.3.1.3” … 30 minutes later gqrx was up and running with “AFSK1200 
Decoder” listening to the local APRS Digi. 

Now all that is left is gnuradio-companion on the Mac … knock on wood … I have 
a good feeling that will go OK.


 cheers … 73 de N1BQ
