Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] some questions on our ubuntu installation instructions

Yes, that's what I meant about sdcc-nf:
Jaunty had sdcc 2.8.0 which was divided into sdcc and sdcc-nf (non-free)
Karmic has the new sdcc 2.9.0, which is re-licensed under GPL3, so
there's no -nf part

Updated the automake and sdcc issues on the wiki, left the subversion
and guile as is...
