Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] installing UHD using PyBOMBS 2.0

[Derek Kozel]

Hello Rob,

I haven't used PyBOMBS so can't speak to the exact error there. Your OS has stopped supplying the 1.53 Boost packages, however installing one of the later versions of Boost manually will likely allow the process to go forwards. Can you try installing 1.54 and then rerunning Boost?

sudo apt-get install libboost1.54-dev

Thanks,

Derek

Hi,

I just setup a new system and as I attempted to install UHD via PyBOMBS, I stumbled on the PyBOMBS 2.0 changeover.  Since I typically only follow the usrp-users list and not the gnuradio list, I didn't see the announcement of this changeover.

I am having trouble with the install.  I really am only interested in installing UHD (source code install), so I tried the following line, but nothing really happened.  Afterwards, I do not see any UHD installation in my prefix location.  Also, it is not clear to me how I would choose whether this install should be a source install or binary install.

$ pybombs install uhd
PyBombs.install - INFO - No packages to install.

Any idea why the above does not seem to do anything?

When this didn't seem to work, I decided to go ahead and install gnuradio since previous PyBOMBS installs of this type would also install UHD as a source code install.  This install failed - the results are in the attached TXT file.  Basically, it looks like it can't find some boost component, but it is not clear to me why it couldn't fix the problem and install what it needed.  There are plenty of boost warnings, but I'm not sure if they are benign or not. 

Let me know any suggestions.  Thanks.

Rob
