Thank you all for your help.
Since I am new in Linux and GNU software
Radio, I wanted to start from known good configuration people use, so I
wiped out FC14 and installed FC13. After the fresh installation, it started
working (I was able to hear tones from my PC's speaker when I ran noise,
dial_done examples under GNU radio folder).
The FC14 I installed was for 32 bit
architecture, and FC13 I installed today was for 64bit architecture.
Initially I thought it could be one
of the three reasons which caused the segmentation fault:
1) Using FC14
2) Using x86_64 instead of i386
3) Operator error on gnu radio istallation procedure (likely...since I
am not really Linux guy)
I still don't know exactly why it happen,
but after talking to several ppl I think #3 was most likely the reason.
It's too late to go back to my old config(I wish I could), but I wonder
if I setup PYTHONPATH correctly or not. I searched for the python site-packages
file and setup the path to the file. I realized that there were multiple
site-packages files in this installation. I will try to figure out if the
other site-packages file in other than .../lib/python2.x/ cause this problem
when I get some time.
If I did that step correctly, then I
need to install FC14 i386 on my workstation and see if I can reproduce
it.
Again, thank you for your help.

Thomas,
Thanks. If there is any way you know of to reproduce the problem, I'd
be very interested in hearing it. If there is a problem with Fedora
14, then I'd like to know where and hopefully fix it.
It shouldn't be a problem with 32 vs. 64-bit and I know people run GNU
Radio on Opterons and on Fedora 13. So it sounds right now like Fedora
14 is the variable. Anyone else used Fedora 14 yet?
