Hi,

I just tried to install gnuradio (ref:http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/build_guide.html)

until :
make test

the result is :
....
98% tests passed, 3 tests failed out of 193

Total Test time (real) = 117.72 sec

The following tests FAILED:
      1 - qa_volk_test_all (Failed)
    144 - qa_constellation (Failed)
    187 - qa_codec2_vocoder (Failed)
Errors while running CTest
make: *** [test] Error 8

then, from http://gnuradio.4.n7.nabble.com/Install-qa-volk-test-all-fails-td51420.html, there are some recommendations, so I follow with:

sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
volk_profile
make test

the result is still same:

The following tests FAILED:
      1 - qa_volk_test_all (Failed)
    144 - qa_constellation (Failed)
    187 - qa_codec2_vocoder (Failed)
Errors while running CTest

As mentioned in the linked thread, doing this should not change anything. There is no such thing as bootstrapping VOLK.

This is the first I case I've heard of this protokernel failing. We've had problems with ORC on other platforms, but never before on an x86_64. As a band-aid you could just remove ORC and rebuild (or run cmake again with -DENABLE_ORC=False), but the negative results from generic are also kind of interesting.

In the mean time, can you tell me
* which version of GNU Radio you're building?

* what version of orc are you running?

 

manythanks,
