[Discuss-gnuradio] Building on 64-bit Linux

[Justin Ford]

Is there a solution for building gnuradio on 64-bit Linux using the stable 
v3.4.2 release?

I'm seeing errors similar to the following thread when building gnuradio from 
the v3.4.2 source tarball on RHEL 5.7 x86_64:
 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2011-09/msg00002.html. 

I followed the procedure for cmake 
(http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/CMakeWork) and encountered 
new errors:


$ cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python26
-DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/include/boost141 -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=/usr/lib64/boost141
-DSWIG_EXECUTABLE=/usr/share/swig/2.0.4/bin/swig ../

If it's hopeless to build from the stable release, what's the best path to a 
working gnuradio installation at the moment?
Thanks!Justin
