Using the build-gnuradio script created by Marcus Leech

[wb5kzo]

Hello Marcus and all SARA members!

This is my first post and this is what I trying to accomplish.  I've just loaded ubuuntu 12.04 LTS on a Dell Latitude D630.  The processor is Intel Core 3 Duo CPU T7250 @2.00GHz x2 and OS type is 32-bit.  Everything seems to be working ok.  My issue is trying to install GNU radio.  I'm using the instructions from the GNU Radio website "http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/InstallingGR#Using-the-build-gnuradio-script".  I created the directory (are I thought I did) 'cd src/' and pasted the following into the command line.

$ wget http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio && chmod a+x ./build-gnuradio && ./build-gnuradio

I receive the following info in the command line:  bash: cd: src/$: No such file or directory.

I'm new to LINUX so trying to learn that also.  Any help would be appreciated!

Don't past the dollar sign.

Just:

wget http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio && chmod a+x
./build-gnuradio && ./build-gnuradio

Thank you for a quick response.  I left out the $ sign and now the command line response is 'bash: cd: src/wget:  No such file or directory"

OK, where is the "cd src/wget" coming from?

wget http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio
chmod 755 build-gnuradio
./build-gnuradio


Try those, one after another

I believe the "cd src/wget" was coming from me not being in the correct directory.  As you can see below I did connect to sbrac.org. but get the "build-gnuradio: Permission denied" response.

chmod 755 build-gnuradio
./build-gnuradio

Thanks Marcus, once I used the home directory it started working correctly.  I interperted the instructions at gnurado.org incorrectly.  The only issue I have now is the [sudo] password for harold:  It did not take my password so I will have to learn more about sudo and what I will need to do to get it to acknowledge a password.  Again thank you so much!

Marcus,

I have a little better understanding of sudo now.  Learned I will not see any * when I type my password.  The terminal says it is done checking packages!!!!  Again thank you for your time and patience!
