Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Updating GNU Radio, UHD or PyBOMBS

[Richard Bell]

I'm still asking for help with this maintenance process. I tried the './pybombs remove' command to get rid of uhd and gnuradio as a test. I didn't get any error or warnings and it completed. When I looked in the pybombs/src folder, both gnuradio and uhd folders still existed there. I deleted them by hand. I then tried the './pybombs install uhd' command to reinstall uhd, but pybombs seems to think it's installed.

I'm really at a loss as to how I'm supposed to do things here. I think in theory, pybombs would make all of this painless, but I've either done something terribly wrong and screwed pybombs up at this point, or it's not working as intended.

What should I do at this point to fresh install with pybombs? I checked the packages I have installed on my ubuntu and I don't see gnuradio or uhd in the list, which is good. If I deleted the pybombs folder and start over from there, would you expect a clean installation at that point? Is that what Martin meant by "Just reinstall it"?

Thanks,
Rich

Just reinstall it. No hassle :)
