[Discuss-gnuradio] Windows DLL Error && Missing Ubuntu Apt-Get Components

[Christopher Harper]

I've been struggling to get this working.  I've ended up with partial success from the Ubuntu package, the Win binary, and the PyBombs source script.  Really, any three of the following options would be great if somebody could give me pointers.

1) Ubuntu 16.04 package

Using the apt-get package for Ubuntu 16.04, I'm missing components in the companion.  Specifically, at least the following (found trying to load a partial-success from 2):

>>> Error: Block key "blocks_multiply_const_xx" not found

>>> Error: Block key "burst_fsk_time_sync" not found

>>> Error: Block key "burst_slicer" not found

>>> Error: Block key "es_handler_pdu" not found

>>> Error: Block key "es_trigger_edge_f" not found

>>> Error: Block key "rtlsdr_source" not found

2) Windows 10

Failing that, I switched to Windows and got much further on the binary (3.7.11.1).  Unfortunately, I can't use the "Burst FSK Time Sync" block.  It's giving me the following DLL error:

  File "C:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.7\gr-python27\lib\site-packages\scipy-0.18.1-py2.7-win-amd64.egg\scipy\special\__init__.py", line 636, in <module>

    from ._ufuncs import *

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

A little bit of Googling got me to install Intel's MKL Windows package; didn't help.

3) Linux, PyBombs

I decided to go back to Linux, and picked the PyBombs route (really cool app btw - kudos to that team!).  Unfortunately, I ended up at the following compile error (I found something in this mailing list from 2016 with it, but didn't quite follow what fixed the issue):

Again - any help against any of the options is appreciated here.

Thanks in advance,
