Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Issues Installing From Source

[Ralph A. Schmid, dk5ras]

I am afraid I did not document this, but I ran into similar issues with the
script and Kubuntu 14.04. However doing it all by hand, resolving
dependencies, load uhd and gnuradio sources, compile the stuff, installing
udev rules, installing the gnuradio icons by hand and such, this all was not
a big deal, and in some cases I simply read the script as a manual how to do
it.

Pybombs is something I could not become friends with yet. For many people it
seems to work, for me all attempts were disastreous.
