Hi,
Pardon my newness to gnuradio... I compiled and installed the latest
dev tar.gz. I tried to compile 3.4.2 with autotools, but didn't get
anywhere. So I followed an advice in a mail I found, and, using
cmake/gmake, all went well (no error messages at least).
Impatiently, I composed a small system with a wav-file reader, low-pass,
and audio-output, and this worked fine. More systematically, I tried to
load the example in /gnuradio-examples/grc/simple, called
variable-config.grc. Here I get the error:

Seemingly randomly, I get a red title in some box, and the error message:

circular dependency caught in sort_variables
Any suggestions for further testing?

Greetings,

John,
Where are you running GRC from? And are you trying to run this inside GRC or on the command line after you generate the .py file?
I'm assuming your examples directory you are reading from is writable? I ask because the default install is into /usr/local and becomes read-only; the generated .py file is placed in /tmp. I just tried this in the read-only environment on my machine and both executing inside GRC worked as well as from the command-line (in /tmp).
Is there anything else in your directory that could be causing a name collision during the Python imports?
