Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GR on CentOS 5 x64_64?

[Brett Trotter]

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I thought it a worthwhile addition.
A few months ago I posted that I'd created a CentOS / RHEL repository that
included GnuRadio. I'm personally running RHEL 5.4 x86_64 and have gnuradio
(latest stable) RPM installed.

info at:
http://blackopsoft.com/

it's a dumb domain, but it was one I had handy... :)

Let me know if you have any constructive criticism.
