[Discuss-gnuradio] Re: Error with USRP on make check (Mac OSX)

[Jonathan Coveney]

For reference, I reinstalled from scratch, without the USRP in, and got the same error (so obviously the USRP had no bearing).

This makes me think that this has to be an error with a newer build, because I didn't have any problems make check'ing previously.

Secondarily: how does one properly use the USRP, then? Do I just run programs, and they should work? Is there anything I need to do to make sure everything is configured properly? Once again: USRP, one basic rx daughterbord in the RXA slot with an antenna plugged via a cord to the RX-A slot on the basic RX board

Hello! I got GNU Radio functioning without the USRP. I am on Mac OSX, and I got this error on make check with the USRP (and only a Basic RX daughterboard in the RXA slot)

I would apprciate any help you can give on how to get the USRP up and running on osx

Is this a case where make check fails, but the install can still work? Please look at what I was doing (below)

Here is how I got to this: unsure what to do with the USRP (I searched but no one seems to tell you what to do with a new USRP... unless I'm missing a very obvious page), here is what I did

-Removed the install of gnu radio, plugged in and powered the USRP (which HAS been used before, I gander, but I really had no idea what to do)
-Re-svn'ed everything
-With the USRP powered and plugged in via USB, I bootstrapped, ./configure, make, then make check threw the error.

I kept the USRP plugged in because I'm not sure how/when the USRP is supposed to be configured. In my old non-USRP install, I got some errors when using the USRP (it detected and whatnot), that I thought might be due to improper configuration. NOt sure now. I could try to replicate them if need be...
