Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Issues using gr-inspector after install

[Sebastian Müller]

Robert,

I’m sorry you’re having difficulties with gr-inspector. I have just tried
to clone, compile and install gr-inspector on Fedora 25 with GNU Radio
3.7.12 and it worked. Please see the attached screenshot [1] from today as
proof.
I have seen gr-inspector run on various setups and distros, including
Fedora, Ubuntu and Arch Linux. However, I cannot provide support for
setting up specific operating systems to meet the dependencies for
gr-inspector. I have uploaded my `cmake ..` and `make` command outputs as
reference for you [2]. Feel free to compare with your output and I’m sure
you’ll be able to track down the issue. Just from skimming I’ve noticed
that there is no line in your cmake output telling that Qt4 was found.

 Sabastian -

 Thanks for the screenshots.  I'll keep hammering at it.  If I do
eventually get a Docker environment working, I'll send it your way in case
you'd like to include it.

 Thanks again

 Hi Robert,

 I’m pretty sure you have a corrupt qwt installation on your machine
 (which is also 90% the issues users have with gr-inspector).
 The file libqwt-qt4.so.5 does not seem to come from qwt-6.1.0 source
 build, but from the debian package 'libqwt5-qt4‘.
 If you just use a symbolic link and trick cmake into finding this file,
 things might go wrong down the road since this is a qwt 5 library! I would
 avoid using symlinks for this purpose at all. See my other comments below.

  Thanks for getting back to me.  The packages I installed were:

  - libqwtplot3d-qt4-0v5, libqwtplot3d-qt4-dev from apt install
  - qwt-6.1.0 (not the most recent, but what the page recommends), from
 source.  I'd previously tried installing the most recent from the repos
 (apt), but had the same error I mentioned above so uninstalled and
 installed this recommended version from source.
