Re: ImportError

So when I run the command to remove gnuradio I did not get an error message. Instead it asked me if I wanted to continue and I said yes and it finished. I believe it did succeed. For the command, 'dpkg -l | grep gnuradio' here is the output:

What does this mean? 

So I used the command ' find /usr -name *gnuradio*' and there was none there so I followed your instructions and removed the directory and recreated it and installed it. There was an error with the cmake, it said: 

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:41 (file):
  file INSTALL cannot set permissions on
  "/home/mariom/prefix-3.8/lib/cmake/tutorial/tutorialConfig.cmake":
  Operation not permitted.

So I used sudo make install instead and it completed it without fail. 

The reason why I had to was when I was trying to figure out how to fix this I thought maybe the prefix was incorrect so I find Gnuradio that was not installed pybombs and used the command of cmake but instead of prefix.3.8 I placed 3.8.3.1. Would it be ok to remove that one or would that correct problems? 

I start gnuradio companion through the terminal using this: 

source ~/prefix-3.8/setup_env.sh
gnuradio-companion

Thank you for all of your help so far in this. Sorry for all of the questions I have.

So what was the result? Did the `sudo apt-get remove gnuradio` succeed? Do you still have libgnuradio-* packages installed on your system? Provide the output of

    dpkg -l | grep gnuradio

This is OK. This library was not install by gnuradio's package so you can't remove it by removing the gnuradio package. So after you've removed all gnuradio packages you need to check if there are any leftovers by running

   find /usr -name *gnuradio*

and if there is none then you need to do a clean rebuild of your OOT and then reinstall

   source /home/mariom/prefix-3.8/setup_env.sh
   cd /home/mariom/gr-tutorial/
   rm -rf build/
   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/mariom/prefix-3.8/ ..
   make install

So you have two prefixes - `prefix-3.8` and `prefix-3.8.3.1`. This is OK as long as you are careful where you install things. You should not mix two prefixes and source their setup_env.sh scripts at the same time in the same terminal.

How do you start gnuradio-companion? If you start it from your prefix then in your terminal you first need to source the setup_env.sh file or run `pybombs run gnuradio-cmpanion`
