[Discuss-gnuradio] GR on CentOS 5 x64_64?

[Michael Dickens]

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully installed GR on CentOS 5  
x86_64, and if so any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

I've been trying to install GNU Radio on CentOS 5 x86_64.  I get some  
of the dependencies from yum, but I'm having to find alternative  
repositories for some, and even compiling some by hand (gasp!).  IMHO,  
it's never a good thing to combine too many install locations when  
building any reasonably complex package (e.g., GNU Radio).

Anyway, I can get to the point of compiling GR -- configure seems to  
find everything it needs -- but during linking of gruel LD spits out a  
whole slew of library dependency issues and finally exits with an  
error that it can't like the library since it can't find some system  
library.  I think this is a 32/64-bit issue, but as this is my first  
real venture in 32/64 bit territory on Linux it's just my best guess.

I don't have that particular terminal in front of me to write  
specifically what the error is.  I've search the internet for various  
combinations of GR and centos, and all of the hits are old and not  
relevant -- most are from the GR discuss list a couple years back.
