Apologies if I sent this out twice. If anyone feels like giving PyBOMBS a go. Reportedly, the gnurdio-install script is going to lose support in favor of PyBOMBS.
Installing Pybombs The general disclaimer…..This technique/approach has worked for me various times, it is the method I prefer, it may not work for you. You might prefer other steps. I assume no liability. Pybombs is not perfect, some recipes do not work. I always start with a fresh Ubuntu load, this one is based on Ubuntu 14. After install, perform the typical: apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade Pybombs will by default try to install all dependencies, but I have found the install goes much smoother if I install some packages in advance: type* sudo apt-get -y install git-core cmake g++ python-dev swig pkg-config libfftw3-dev libcppunit-dev libgsl0-dev libusb-dev libsdl1.2-dev python-wxgtk2.8 python-numpy python-cheetah python-lxml doxygen libxi-dev python-sip libqt4-opengl-dev libqwt-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxrender-dev python-qwt5-qt4 python-sip python-sip-dev cmake xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev* reboot terminal into your home directory type* git clone git://github.com/pybombs/pybombs <http://github.com/pybombs/pybombs>* type *cd pybombs* type *./pybombs config* In the configuration setup you can press enter for every option, I changed the install prefix location because this helps prevent errors when I manually install non pybombs packages later on, if you are only going to use pybombs “recipes” leave the default location. If you change to "/usr/local" you'll have to run "sudo ./pybombs config" after the config files run Output of ./pybombs config Initializing config file...

The app_store may go dark. You can monitor the progress in the terminal window that you launched app_store in. If everything installs correctly, the app_store will brighten and your terminal window will display "installation ok via: src" if it errored out, the app_store will close and your terminal window will have some information. I suggest starting with gr-osmosdr (<--- this will install many of your app_store blocks such as hackrf and osmosdr) and gr-pyqt By default, the Ettus block will load, however, some minor configuration is required to get the B200 and B210 running correctly, if there is interest, I will update this to include. Click the "X" to exit the app_store. type *sudo ./pybombs env* Using the Ubuntu file manager, navigate to the location listed after running ./pybombs env. Open setup_env.sh and copy everything below the following line: # WARNING: This file is auto-generated by pybombs, any manual changes to it may be overwritten!
