Install from PPA

[Tomkat]

Hi Alexandru,

Thanks a lot for working on gqrx & gnuradio.

I installed gnuradio & all it's components on my Raring (i386) machine using the build-gnuradio script and the 'dial-tone' worked perfectly. However, I culd never get gqrx to work. Seems there was a bug in some gr packages as qtcreator couldn't locate gnuradio-analog, etc packages.

So, I purged all that and installed the ppa ( https://launchpad.net/~gqrx/+archive/releases )
But, how do I install all packages available here? I'm sorry, I'm new to the SDR world. So, please give me the commands.

Thanks.

Btw, the osmoSDR sources or RTL-SDR sources too never appeared in the Source/Sink lists on GRC albeit these packages were installed with gnuradio itself. Funcube Dongle was in sources, however.

Start the Ubuntu Software Center, search for gqrx, then press the
Install button.

Alex,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I did that over the Terminal as it was given here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/gqrx/ppa/gqrx/ALjNReW3RRE/dgwikubdfdsJ

It installed w/o any problem, GQRX works flawlessly. However, when I run 'gnuradio-companion', it gives the following error:

Is the python path environment variable set correctly?
	All OS: PYTHONPATH

Is the library path environment variable set correctly?
	Linux: LD_LIBRARY_PATH
	Windows: PATH
	MacOSX: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Is the python path environment variable set correctly?
	All OS: PYTHONPATH

Is the library path environment variable set correctly?
	Linux: LD_LIBRARY_PATH
	Windows: PATH
	MacOSX: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

What should the two paths be set to? Btw, I have OpenERP running on the same machine which uses Python & works fine.

That's not an error, but a suggestions to resolve an error. So please
also include the actual error message.

It should work without manually setting up anything. I'm guessing you
have some leftovers from the previous source installation that is
causing conflicts.

By the way, installing gqrx will not install gnuradio-companion. You
need to install the gnuradio package.

Alex,

It installed fine. And is now running too (both grc & gqrx). I did it in two different systems. Both of them have many (almost all, in fact) blocks missing from GRC. There are no file-source, char-source, float, etc even. Due to this, even the dial-tone doesn't work. How do I get all the blocks & install using a single command? And how do I avoid any issues with blocks that already exist?
