Re: [USRP-users] Trouble using CentOS6.5 to communicate with x310 and Twin Rx

[Anon Lister via USRP-users]

Certainly if you can use the latest Ubuntu LTS, use that instead.

I have a C6 box talking to an x310 and n210 without issue, but I don't need
to support twinRX (which requires 3.10), just the UBX/SBX.

It can be done, but given you need the latest uhd version, you may need to
source build many dependencies, probably at least boost(unless 1.4.8 is
sufficient for 3.10?), python. Maybe gcc.

You can start here:
https://bhilburn.org/installing-gnu-radio-on-centos-6-8/

The same cmake flags will allow 3.9LTS uhd to compile.

This should get you with gnuradio working in centos 6/uhd 3.9. Then you'll
have to play chase the dependency to get uhd 3.10.x working. I've not had
to do this, so I usually just stick to uhd 3.9 and it works fine on C6.
(Though I know it's not going to work forever.)

(Obviously if you do the gnuradio build first, you'll need to rebuild it
after successfully getting UHD working)

Re: [USRP-users] Trouble using CentOS6.5 to communicate with x310 and Twin Rx

[Marcus D. Leech via USRP-users]

Centos systems are "born obsolete".   IT departments love them because
they tend to change at glacial speeds.   Developers find them to be
heartburn-inducing, because the "latest" Centos tends to have packages
that are years out of date with respect to the rest of the world. 

Pybombs does its best, but I don't think that it has known-good recipes
for Centos at the moment. 

Your best bet may be a recent Fedora or Ubuntu or Debian or Mint.
