[Discuss-gnuradio] Ubuntu 9.04 and GNU Radio

2009-04-25 Thread Robert McGwier
I am not able to configure and compile GR on Ubuntu 9.04 using the directions from the gnuradio.org/trac on any of three different machines on which I attempted to do the upgrade. I then tried on one of them doing a raw install (the one with the least stuff on it). The same failure occurs, so

[Discuss-gnuradio] PS3 shortage over?

My local Target, Walmart, and others have PS3's on the shelf. They have controllers, and accessories galore. That said, even with shipping, I saved money (taxes, etc.) by buying from Fry's. My early purchase from Terra (Yellow Dog) will be consumed by others when that comes to fruition

I am doubting the libtool error in this one. If you have the libtool error, it shows up well before this. You cannot complete the make. IF you cannot complete the make, and it dies in making the mblock message block code, then you can go back to the pmt directory and in that directory do

Both dttsp and gnuradio build on the PS3. I managed to get everything to install. As I have always found with redhat/fedora installations, what is absolutely seamless and without peer in Ubuntu is a royal pain in the derriere with Fedora. I had to add all of the PYTHONPATH, etc. as usual

This problem is understood. There is a change in libtool in the Debian/Ubuntu community. I believed this was fixed here by finding out some shell changes but it is not. If you cannot build mblock, you need to install pmt, which alway builds first. Go into the pmt directory and make

You have not read or internalized the specifications for the oscillator on the USRP which is intimately involved in this system. It is 50 ppm accuracy which is bad enough, but look at the can. It is begging to have thermal variances. Start up the usrp and your process and investigate

There is a multiplier circuit/ PLL in the DBS-RX. Whatever phase noise is coming from the oscillator is being multiplied considerably by this upconversion to be used at LO in the DBS-RX. You cannot get low phase noise oscillators and high performance mixers in that small a package. Together
