Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Ubuntu make error -> Unable to open file gnuradio_swig_py_runtime.py

[Fabian Uehlin]

Thank you for your help.
I installed Ubuntu 8.10 the way described on the GNURadio website and  
it works.
No idea why the last installation didn't work. The only difference  
was, that I built it your way (but this should't be the problem).

Anyway, thank you very much. I see spectrums, oscillators, etc.

Regards -Fabian-
