GRC attempts to read the doc string of each block during load. If the import of a block seg faults, so does GRC. If all you changed is install gr-cdma, that's probably the reason for GRC failing. Looks like your installation of gr-cdma is broken. OK, makes sense. I didn't have a problem

An easy way to get fractional delay is to use the polyphase timing recovery block. Set the loop bandwidth to 0, the number of filters to the fractional delay step size you want, i.e. 32 filters gives you a fractional delay step size of 1/32, the taps to your shaping filter over sampled by the
