[Discuss-gnuradio] Problem with installation - grc does not start

[Thorsten Laude]

Hi,

I've installed gnuradio following this guide:
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg26238.html

While installing everything was fine and I had no error messages.
After the installation I tried to start grc and got the error messages
posted below.

In http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/190977 the following work-around
was descried:

Unfortunately this doesn't work because I have no /etc/gnuradio/ . Is
this folder normally created automatically when you install gnuradio?

Can anybody help me?

OS: Kubuntu 10.04
gnuradio from git, branch next.


Thanks,
Thorsten
