Re: gnuradio compilation and also gr-air-modes issue

[Ron Economos]

The error message is due to trying to compile an OOT (gr-air-modes) 
that's using GNU Radio 3.8 on your install of GNU radio 3.9.

There is a branch on gr-air-modes called "gr3.9" that looks like it 
could work, although the commit messages say "WIP with plenty of 
untested code". To switch to that branch:

git checkout gr3.9

As for the compile taking longer with -j, this usually means you don't 
have enough memory. GNU Radio requires about 1 GB per core.
