Prebuilt ppc RPM's for wxPython and all dependencies are available in Fedora Extras: http://fedoraproject.org/extras/5/ppc/repodata/repoview/W.group.html On FC5, the default is to have Extras enabled; perhaps the PS3 install doesn't have that. In any case, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/UsingExtras for usage notes. The gist of it: if the PS3 install is default FC5, then you just do: yum install wxPython and that pulls in everything you need (just like apt-get install on Ubuntu would do). If you want to see what is available, do a 'yum list' and it will spit out everything it knows about. If there were GNUradio RPM's in Extras, you could do a yum install gnuradio-core and it would pull in everything required, just like apt-get install would do. To solve your PYTHONPATH stuff, when building GNUradio configure for a prefix of /usr instead of /usr/local. A make uninstall should do the right thing to pull all traces out. The audio system on the PS3 with Fedora and Alsa is a little odd. I am unable to address /dev/dsp in any meaningful way. Portaudio correctly calls the devices (running pa_devs) but all of the examples fail in gnuradio-example/python/audio. I modified several to attempt portaudio and that failed. Build GNUradio with OSS support but not ALSA support. ALSA devices are enumerated differently than OSS emulated devices; for some reason (and this is true on FC5 i386 too) if you build the ALSA support things break, but they work fine with OSS support built. At least the last time I built on FC5 that was true, but that was older GNUradio. I went from new toy to Fedora core 5 compiling jack, dttsp, and gnuradio in a week. We can do business with this.

Great stuff, Bob. When you say it's slow, about how long are you talking? Tom It took about 1/2 hour to build. A huge amount of time was spent swapping like mad to do the swig wrap. Everything else was speedy. fftw enables altivec for fftwf and that does have an impact. The Extigy is no real solution because it is USB 1.0. If they had a firewire on the thing I would be doing freebob already. Bob -- AMSAT Director and VP Engineering. Member: ARRL, AMSAT-DL, TAPR, Packrats, NJQRP, QRP ARCI, QCWA, FRC.
