Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] No module name gnuradio

[Robitaille, Michael]

Finally got GNU Radio compiled and working with the USRP so I am out of the
wood for now.

 

I installed it in the 'standard' location, unfortunately I could do that
only as the root and I can only run GnuRadio as root.  I can't even use
'sudo' to run usrp_oscope.py.

 

Not sure if I should move this to another subject, let me know Eric.

 

Here is what I did and the difficulties that I still having.

 

I made a group and changed the /usr/local directories per Eric's
recommendations.

Sid not - exercise;

Per my old Unix book;

Unless the set group ID (sgid) permission of an executable file are set, the
process created is assigned your uid and gid at its real and effective uid
and real and effective gid, respectively. File access for a process is
determined by its effective uid and effective gid.

 

After making the changes to /usr/local based on my new group, I tried to
build the base line software needed and got the following type of error
while making sdcc:

make -C `dirname hc08/port.a`

make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/GnuRadio/sdcc/src/hc08'

make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/GnuRadio/sdcc/src/hc08'

/usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/local/bin

/usr/bin/install: cannot change permissions of `/usr/local/bin': Operation
not permitted

make[1]: *** [installdirs] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/GnuRadio/sdcc/src'

 

I appears' that the make is trying to change permission on /usr/local/bin. 

 

Making myself root solved this problem but now I can't run the gnuradio
software except as root.

 

Even when I use 'sudo' to run usrp_oscope.py, I get the error

 

ImportError: libwx_gtk2d_xrc-2.6.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory

 

The file is in the /urs/local/bin and my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to that
location.  I set the same environment variables for both my regular user and
root.

 

If I don't use 'sudo' I get even more errors.  I think that they are related
to usb access. I try to use the fstab per another post and it did not seem
to help.
