RE: [Discuss-gnuradio] Gnuradio in Fedora 10... what did go wrong in my installation?

[Tachwali, Yahia]

Hello Alaelddin,

You are absolutely right about the problem of Boost libraries problem. I really 
suggest the gnuradio team to mention this point into the Fedora installation 
steps on the website. However, I already did that and moved all the way to 
complete system installation. If I did not fix the boost library version, the 
configure step would not even complete. In fact, I followed the steps mentioned 
in README.boost file. 

Do you think the the errors below are caused by the boost library:
sh: latex: command not found
Problems running latex. Check your installation or look for typos in 
_formulas.tex and check _formulas.log!
sh: dvips: command not found
Problems running dvips. Check your installation!

It does not look so!

How can I verify the installation other than the dialtone? any usrp 
application. I am kinda newbie to GNURADIO and not sure which application can 
do a sanity installation check? any advice?

Kind regards,
Yahia Tachwali

Hi
I think there is a problem in your GNU Radio installation. in Fedora 10
boost is version 1.43 but GNU Radio 3.2.2 needs boost version 1.35 or
higher . the best way to solve you problem, as I did as the following:
1- Download boost from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.37.0/boost_1_37_0.tar.bz2/download


2- extract the file some where. and .... cd boost_1_37_0
3- ./configure --prifex=/usr/local      ,,,,,,, then make,,,,, then sudo
make install
that will install boost in the default directory /usr/local/


4- after that go to gnuradio and do
   ./bootstrap     ./configure
   make
   sudo make install

That will solve your problem as solved to me
Good luck
