Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Yet another installation problem

[n4hy]

I have never once regretting changing over to SUSE.  YAST is just too 
awesome.  I have gone ahead and installed gcc-4.0.2 on all my machines.  
You can use the python 2.4.1 that comes with SUSE 10.  I have done 
python 2.4.2 but there are a few more roads to go down to get to the end 
if you do.  For now, don't.

Please go here

http://www.kd7lmo.net/ground_gnuradio_baseline.html


and install the baseline code.   MAKE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES.

DO NOT install Numeric.  It is already installed in SUSE 10 or you could 
have installed it from the disk and can do so now with YAST in a 
Software Management session.  While you are at it,  install wxPython, 
wxGtk.  Let it complain about dependencies and then let it automatically 
satisfy them.  install gcc, python, ccache, cppunit, automake,  
autoconf, doxygen, etc.  If gnuradio complains later,  it is easily 
fixed by adding what is needed from the LMO site above.


When you go to the numarray site,  go ahead and get 1.5.0.  It works 
just fine.

go the SWIG site but install 1.3.27 instead.

the fftw-3.0.1 floating configured with sse and 3dnow is important for 
code efficiency.

As such,  you can do

configure --enable-single --enable-sse --enable-k7 --enable-threads

they do NOT conflict so far as I can tell.  I build one version and have 
installed it on pentiums, athlons, 32 and 64 bit processors so it will 
install a version that works on pentium's and athlons

It will then be important for you to find fftwf_wisdom,  run it,  and 
have its output file specified as /etc/fftw/wisdomf.  Use the canonical 
files (fftwf_wisdom -c) , start it before you go to bed, and wake up 
refreshed with a full head of fftw_wisdom on your machine.


DO NOT follow the LMO instructions for wxPython for SUSE10.0

Go to the wxPython site and get wxPython-2.6.1.  LMO's instructions are 
to replace ALL of your gtk+, atk, pango,  etc libraries which you 
already have on your machine if you installed then with SUSE 10 and/or 
followed the first steps above.  Do a YAST software management session 
and make sure that gtk+,  atk, pango, glib are all installed if you have 
not already by doing wxGtk and wxPython

unload wxPython-2.6.1.0 into a directory.

cd wxPython-2.6.1.0/wxPython

edit config.py and change UNICODE to 1.

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

sdcc is required for the USRP.

octave/octave forge are useful so go ahead and install.

I have NEVER seen import wx work after this stuff is built without 
rebooting my SUSE machines (even after ldconfig and rehash), so boot now.

You will find you can do ./for-all-dirs ../buildit on the gr-build 
directory and it will work.  If after reboot,  you can run python and 
manually type import wx without error message,  you are probably set.
