RE: [Discuss-gnuradio] Problems building swig 1.3.23

[hamlin]

I had the same problem as Bill reported on Dec 13, when trying to execute the 
dial_tone.py program that I copied from the  "Exploring GnuRadio" web-page.  
On my Fedora-2 core system,  I built  and installed the following:

  osalp-0.7.3.tar.gz from osalp.sourceforge.net
  fftw-3.0.1.tar.gz from www.fftw.org
  cppunit-1.10.2.tar.gz from sourceforge.net/projects/cppunit
  swig-1.3.23.tar.gz from swig.org  (I first uninstalled swig-1.3.19
       using the command "rpm -e swig-1.3.19-6.1")
  gnuradio-core-2.3.tar.gz from gnu.org/software/gnuradio/
  gr-audio-oss-0.3.tar.gz from gnu.org/software/gnuradio/
  gnuradio-examples-0.2.tar.gz from gnu.org/software/gnuradio/

Executing the dial_done example program produces the following
error messages:
 audio: using audio_oss

I suspect the problem is related to the OSS audio, but I'm new to all this.
