[Discuss-gnuradio] Help with building

[Newell Jensen]

To anyone that can help,

I am in the process of building gnuradio from CVS.  I downloaded all the 
dependencies like sdcc, numarray, numeric, fftw3, etc. into my home folder 
home/jensen and installed them with a script from the KD7LMO websit that is 
linked on the gnuwiki for cvs installation.  That went good and now I am 
trying to build gnuradio via cvs.  So I checkedout the sources into the 
folder home/jensen/gr (which is the same gr that KD7LMO has everything being 
built from).  Now I am trying to build the cvs stuff that was checked out 
via the instructions on the wiki page using:

$ sudo -v

$  ./for-all-dirs ../buildit 2>&1 | tee make.log

but I am getting this error:

checking for fftw3f >= 3.0... Package fftw3f was not found in the pkg-config 
search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `fftw3f.pc' to 
the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'fftw3f' found
configure: error: Library requirements (fftw3f >= 3.0) not met; consider 
adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in 
a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

Please not that I fixed this error with something I found on the web that 
said for me to do this:

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}:/home/jensen/fftw-3.1.1"

Yet, it only seems to work momentarily, because after a while I still get 
the same error message.   Does anyone know how to fix it so that it stays 
fixed?  Also, when it was working for the short time that it did, I ran into 
another problem and that was that it said that I didn't have cppunit 
installed but I do.  Here is the error message that I get with that:

checking for cppunit-config... no
checking for Cppunit - version >= 1.9.14... configure: error: GNU Radio 
requires cppunit.  Stop
> > > build FAILED in /home/jensen/gr/gnuradio-core

Now I have cppunit installed and the folder is in /home/jensen/  so I don't 
know if this is the problem?
Since I am fairly new to everything (linux) I would appreciate any pointers. 
 Thanks.
