Hi John,

The irreducible matrix of required libraries depends on what you want
to do.

Assuming that you just want to _run_ stuff that depends on gnuradio-core
you need:

  Python
  libfftw3f     // single precision FFTW library


Adding the usrp and gr-usrp adds libusb:

  libusb        // user space access to USB devices


Note that there are some things that are required to _build_ the
packages, but are not required to run them.  This includes things like
the SDCC 8051 C compiler used to build the firmware for the FX2 on the
USRP.

Of course if you want to talk to a sound card, then you need to
include at least one GNU Radio module that knows how to do that.


The list of packages you need to _build_ GNU Radio is in the
top-level README, http://gnuradio.org/trac/browser/gnuradio/trunk/README

I hope this helped answer your question.  If not please ask again.
