Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio installation script

[Mike Gilmer]

I'm running 14.04 and yes I have Internet access (that was part of the
aforementioned "drama")

I ran the update/upgrade and reran the script and now things are "different"

This seems like it may take a while. I'll report back when it's done.

Hmm.. so far one error - it couldn't find libzmq1-dev; I don't know
what that'll mean

Thanks!

Mike
