Installing gnuradio with pybombs on debian

GNU Radio
1

Hello guys,

I have a problem with installing GNURadio on Debian i86 7.6. After
executing “./pybombs install gnuradio”, I got the following error
related
to boost:

"
File “/home/alizadeh/gnuradio_src/pybombs/mod_pybombs/recipe.py”, line
649,
in fetch
raise Exception(“Failed to Fetch package ‘%s’ sources were ‘%s’!”%(
self.name, self.source));
Exception: Failed to Fetch package ‘boost’ sources were '[‘wget://
Download boost_1_53_0.tar.bz2 (Boost C++ Libraries)’]
'!
"

I saw my Synaptic package manager, the below libboosts are already
installed:

libboost-iostreams1.49.0
libboost-thread1.49.0
libboost-program-options1.49.0

What I should do to install GNURadio on this device?
(I always have a problem with boost library for GNURadio! :frowning: )

Best,
Mostafa

Hi Mostafa,

pybombs tries to install boost from source because 1.49 is known to be
buggy.

It seems like it can’t download the file. Since this works here, that
might have been a temporary issue (try again!) or it might be caused by
the need to use a proxy to access websites from where you are working.
In that case, set the http_proxy environnment variable accordingly (ask
your local admin for the right setting).

Greetings,
Marcus
