This is my first posting to the mailing list, my apology for it being a bit on the long side and yet perhaps short of vital information. Despite the length my understanding is that for somebody with more experience than I will have no trouble just skimming through and pick up some vital clues that is lost on me. Compiling is not my strong side and I am a beginner as far as details on getting gnuradio working to any extent. The distrobution does have a gnuradio-3.6.4 available and I have practiced getting to know gnuradio companion.
I got interested in a more ambitious attempt to get gqrx running and figured that a 'pybombs' instance would be worth trying, the attraction of the recipes was to enticing. I realised eventually that 'pybombs' has troubles of sorts when using it in PCLinuxOS. From what I can see the process runs but and eventually returns to command prompt after what I have figured, installed 3 and a bit programs. The configurations stage I believe I survived by choosing almost default, exept I have selected from: src only because of using "another" linux than the ones 'pybombs' are built on?? Then the following happens: [gert@KDE64-tecra-A11 pybombs]$ ./pybombs install gnuradio Settled on prefix: /home/gert/gr-sandbox/target Initializing environmental variables... no existing inventory found, creating an empty one... value updated False None Loading recipes ... /home/gert/gr-sandbox/target Installing packages: * make * python * libbzip * boost * fftw * cppunit * swig * gsl * libusb * numpy * uhd * alsa * glib * libtiff * libpng * libjpeg * gdk-pixbuf * atk * freetype * fontconfig * pixman * x11 * cairo * pango * gtk2 * wxpython * pygobject * pygtk * pycairo * sip * qt4 * pyqt4 * qwt5 * pyqwt5 * gnuradio I have only shown this section which raises questions in my mind that perhaps I don't understand what is happening. 1.. From above I understand that I have set up my 'sandbox' from the 'sandbox' calling for gnuradio to be installed. As the process gets under way I am given a bonus in the form of the 'recipes' being installed, saving me the step to load them later. 2.. A considerable list of programs that will be installed. The first 3 programs are installed, I have seen them in the 'sandbox' instance again and again (have tried quite a number of variations such as deb,src and rpm,src (as for some other non gr programs I have had success). The fourth program 'boost' seems to get under way but then program returns to command program with no error messages. As follows: ------------------------------------------------- Installing from source: boost --2015-06-10 19:14:52-- http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.53.0/boost_1_53_0.tar.bz2 Resolving downloads.sourceforge.net (downloads.sourceforge.net)... 216.34.181.59 Connecting to downloads.sourceforge.net (downloads.sourceforge.net)|216.34.181.59|:80... connected.

I think I can say that 'boost' does not get installed as it does not show up in the 'sandbox' as one of the installed programs. 4.. Am I correct that one way or another the list of pragrams above I could have expected to be installed? I have recorded quite a bit of my attempted installs from terminal operation. I have just managed to download the Ubuntu liveDVD and am trying to get to know a bit about Ubuntu as well as the content but my aim is to get a working PCLinuxOS system.
