With that said how does Angstrom which uses opkg upgrades images that are build with Angstrom. I prefer Yocto but I had some pre-built image that came with my beagleboard and I used opkg upgrade and opkg install gfortran. Also has anyone built gfortran, libgfortran, and numpy? Currently these are some dependencies that I need for GNURADIO? Thanks Any and all help is appreciated Ed
