Re: ImportError

[Mario Moran]

I see, when I downloaded gnuradio from pybombs I must have not realized that I had gnuradio so I installed it again with a different command. I have tried to removed with sudo apt-get remove gnuradio but the command 'find /home/mario -name libgnuradio-tutorial.so.1.0.0git' I still got the same results as before I used sudo apt-get remove gnuradio. The results were: 

/home/mariom/gr-tutorial/build/lib/libgnuradio-tutorial.so.1.0.0git
/home/mariom/prefix-3.8/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnuradio-tutorial.so.1.0.0git
/home/mariom/prefix-3.8.3.1/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnuradio-tutorial.so.1.0.0git

I then tried to rerun the flowgraph and I am still getting the same error. I do wonder, would it be easier to reset the whole thing.

You have two gnuradio versions installed on your system - the first one installed using pybombs (in /home/mariom/prefix-3.8/).

And a second one (in /lib/ and /usr/lib) most probably installed from the Ubuntu's repository. The `ldd -r ...` commands shows that the tutorial's OOT module has been build for the system wide installation (in /lib/) but you have installed it in the pybombs' prefix by specifying -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

Having two versions of gnuradio installed at the same time (especially if one is in /lib/ or /usr/lib/) is not recommended unless you are very experienced as you can easily mix the two and have some very difficult to debug problems. My recommendation is to choose one version and remove the other.

You can use

    find /home/mario -name libgnuradio-tutorial.so.1.0.0git
    find /usr/ -name libgnuradio-tutorial.so.1.0.0git

to check/find where the library has been installed.

In you prefix (/home/mariom/prefix-3.8/) there is a shell script called setup_env.sh. It exports some environment variables that are needed by python and library loader to find python modules and libraries in your prefix. In can either load this script manually

  source /home/mariom/prefix-3.8/setup_env.sh

or open a new bash/shell session using pybombs

   pybombs run bash

You can also source this file in ~/.profile to load it automatically.
