Pybombs fails to install GNURadio 3.8 on Ubuntu 18.04

Hello everyone:

Posting this here because I cannot seem to find any solution online, been trying this on and off for several weeks.

So I have a working installation of GNURadio 3.7 on the default/ prefix. I did this with Pybombs and no issues after working out some quirks. I want to give 3.8 a try so I've been trying to install this into a new prefix, but it just doesn't work. I feel like the error is kind of obscure, I don't know what it relates to.

Always fails after [ 39%] Building CXX object gr-blocks/swig/CMakeFiles/blocks_swig0.dir/CMakeFiles/blocks_swig0.dir/blocks_swig0PYTHON_wrap.cxx.o. The error in the end appears to be:

gr-blocks/swig/CMakeFiles/blocks_swig0.dir/build.make:82: recipe for target 'gr-blocks/swig/CMakeFiles/blocks_swig0.dir/CMakeFiles/blocks_swig0.dir/blocks_swig0PYTHON_wrap.cxx.o' failed

make: *** [all] Error 2
[ERROR] Build failed. See output above for error messages.
[ERROR] Problem occurred while building package gnuradio:
Build failed.
[ERROR] Error installing package gnuradio. Aborting.

I'm attaching a full log.txt of the output...

Running pybombs inv after the failed installation shows:

[INFO] Prefix Python version is: 3.6.9
[INFO] PyBOMBS Version 2.3.4a0
Showing package state:
uhd:                installed
gnuradio:           configured

Running pybombs inv in the default/ prefix shows:

[INFO] Prefix Python version is: 3.6.9
[INFO] PyBOMBS Version 2.3.4a0
Showing package state:
uhd:                installed

gr-osmosdr37:       installed
gr-msgtools:        installed
gr-sattools:        installed

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install GNURadio 3.7 into default/ prefix
  2. pybombs prefix init ~/prefix/gr38 -R gnuradio-default

I appreciate anyone's input on this... I feel stumped and don't know what else to search for.

Best wishes,

Dan

Do you know where this binary version is? If you have a system wide version of GNU Radio installed 3.8 cannot be built into a prefix due to a bug as far as I can remember.

Hey, @dkozel !

Thanks for the very quick response... You're completely right. I had installed GQRX via the ppa and this installs GNURadio system wide. I've removed it and now Pybombs correctly built 3.8 into the desired prefix.

Thanks!!!
