Hi all,
I am working with gnuradio and usrps on an ubuntu 20.04
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
I usually update my uhd libraries from ettus binaries as described here:
https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_install.html
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ettusresearch/uhd
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install libuhd-dev libuhd4.1.0 uhd-host
Then I usually build gnuradio from source (I am currently in v3.8).
I DO NOT install gnuradio from repositories!
Today I tried to update the uhd libraries.
First I cleaned up all previous versions:
$ sudo apt-get remove libuhd-dev libuhd4.1.0 uhd-host
$ sudo apt autoremove
$ ldconfig -p | grep uhd
libgnuradio-uhd.so.3.8.5git (libc6,x86-64) =>
/usr/local/lib/libgnuradio-uhd.so.3.8.5git
libgnuradio-uhd.so.3.8.4 (libc6,x86-64) =>
/usr/local/lib/libgnuradio-uhd.so.3.8.4
libgnuradio-uhd.so.3.8.3git (libc6,x86-64) =>
/usr/local/lib/libgnuradio-uhd.so.3.8.3git
libgnuradio-uhd.so (libc6,x86-64) =>
/usr/local/lib/libgnuradio-uhd.so
Then I tried to install the uhd libraries:
$ sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ettusresearch/uhd

Can anyone help with this?
I want to just update my uhd to the latest version from ETTUS
repositories and then build gnuradio from source as I used to do.
thanks in advance,
Achilleas
