Hi Jerry, that's great! I'm glad you figured it out.
You're absolutely right, things like this can indeed drive a person crazy. It's certainly driven me crazy a couple of times. I've edited the wiki, it should be fixed now :) Best regards, Håkon Vågsether 17. jul. 2017 4.44 p.m. skrev "Jerry" <jster...@att.net>: Hi Håkon Big thank you !! I understand that many times “instructions” are not precisely correct and may be missing pieces of code punctuations, grammar, etc. However, as an entry level person to Linux – when reading a wiki page or readme file…it is exactly these subtle missing pieces that can drive a person crazy. With your help it installed quickly.

This will require you to prefix the executable with "./". "." means your current directory, but perhaps you already knew that. :) So, instead of: $ sudo grc_setup_freedesktop install you'll have to do: $ sudo. /grc_setup_freedesktop install If you want more info on this, this link might be helpful: http://www.linfo.org/path_env_var.html Hope I could be of any help. Best regards, Håkon Vågsether 17. jul. 2017 3.39 p.m. skrev "Jerry" <jster...@att.net>: I am just starting on in both Linux and gnuradio so steep learning curve so far. I successfully built installed the latest gnuradio into my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using PyBOMBS. All works fine from the command line. I would like the convenience of a GRC desktop icon and I read on the wiki.gnuradio.org page to run the following: $ cd /libexec/gnuradio/ $ sudo grc_setup_freedesktop install I allowed PyBOMBS to install gnuradio into /prefix/default. I found /prefix/default/libexec/gnuradio which contains a green file ‘grc_setup_freedesktop’ but when I run the commands $ cd /prefix/default/libexec/gnuradio/ $ sudo grc_setup_freedesktop install I get an error: sudo: grc_setup_freedesktop : command not found…but grc_setup_freedesktop is in the /libexec/ folder Any advice appreciated.
