I have tried to install GNU Radio on my Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64 laptop.

Reading http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/InstallingGR I
have run:

$ sudo apt-get install gnuradio
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package gnuradio is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'gnuradio' has no installation candidate

Looking on
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&keywords=Gnuradio&searchon=namesit
seems that the gnuadio package is not available for the precise
(12.04)
version of Ubuntu. This would explain the error I got. Is this correctly
interpreted?

I have been searching the net to see if I could find any solutions. I found
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20041366/unable-to-locate-package-gnuradio-ubuntu-12-04which
might be same problem, although the poster doesn't show his output
from . The suggested solution is to ettus repositories. This seems to be a
case of symptom treatment when the installation guide indicates that
gnuradio already should be in the standard repository.

I could try to build from source, but since installing from a package
repository is recommended at
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/InstallingGRFromSource I
am still pursuing this approach.

If the reason for my problems is that there are no package for 12.04 the
documentation should really be updated to reflect this.

Cheers

Mads
