[Discuss-gnuradio] Install gnuradio error help request

[EDWARD HALL]

I am doing my first build of gnuradio and am getting an error related to
"Python include path."

My Linux installation is a hard drive install of a Knoppix live CD.  My
system is a 500 MHz Pentium.  I am following the HowToBuildFromCVS
instructions and get the following results when I use:

address@hidden:~/gr-build$ /for-all-dirs ./buildit 2>&1 | tee make.log

>>>/home/ward/gr-build/gnuradio-core

I have seen some postings about issues with Python where the following path
statement was recommended but this did not help my results:

export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages

Recommendations?

 

Thanks
