Today when I tried to install Gnuradio by Marcus Script I got following
message.
“Fetching Gnu Radio via GIT…GIT checkout of Gnu Radio failed!”
Yesterday it was working fine and I installed it on my two Pc’s.

Sometimes the GIT server that hosts the Gnu Radio source goes down,
that’s probably what happened there.

It’s possible that your local network doesn’t allow the GIT protocol to
propagate.

And it’s funny because I used the “http:” version in the build-gnuradio
script specifically because some peoples local firewall rules
preclude the use of the GIT protocol. Sigh.
Perhaps I’ll update the script to try both methods.
Hi Sumit,
There are two links that we can use to access the current version of the
GNU Radio source: git://gnuradio.org/gnuradio and
gnuradio.git - GNU Radio .
As of now, the second link does not work for me, but the first one does.
You might be able to fix your problem by finding the line in the script
where you try to git the source code, and replace it with : “git clone
git://gnuradio.org/gnuradio”, excluding quotation marks.
This information is from:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Download .
Hope that helps,
Chris
OOPS !!! and it worked … thanks a lot

Hi Marcus you were right.I just came to know that git protocol was not
working for some reasons in my institute.
Replacing with the link told by Chris worked finally

I will really appreciate any reply.
It’s probably the case that the firmware repository has changed
structure again, and the script is not psychic.

Git ports are now open at my place and git protocol is working fine.
I just updated http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio to at least
detect when the directory structure it fetches from www.ettus.com
is invalid, and it can’t determine the file to download. It prints
an error message and exits–not much more it can do. It’s hard to
make install scripts have “intuition”
Haha… indeed.
Anyways thats good for now I am re-running it on my systems.Will let
you
know how it goes.

For the time being I should work on my older systems where it was
installed
last week through the script.I hope the problem will be solved soon.

Hmmm now it is at least echoing the reason for exiting
"Could not find appropriate file to download Perhaps the "downloads"
directory structure at ettus.com has changed or is currently invalid "
Again the same step by step build
I hope it will be restored soon.

It just worked flawlessly for me at home.
I wonder if perhaps you have a “transparent web cache” on your network
that isn’t quite flushing properly?

Everything was working fine last week.I have ubuntu 10.04.
Some of my friends are also getting the same error with ubuntu 10.10.
I will really appreciate.I checked the script step by step.The function
named ‘firmware’ is not able to fetch the latest UHD firmware/fpga
images.
I will really appreciate any reply.

Yes indeed our institute has transparent web cache to decrease the load on
network.I can’t say whether its flushing properly or not.I will try
installing it tomorrow with a separate connection.
But how is this related to the errors I am getting …
Sometimes “transparent web caches” aren’t so transparent. Updates to
the downstream actual website aren’t
always tracked correctly.
So when the “firmware” paragraph trys to fetch stuff, the web cache
delivers an incomplete version of the target
website–the firmware is fetched using “wget” to an http:// URL, so
your webcache will definitely be involved.

Hey Marcus…a nice thing…
I did some manipulation in your script and it worked.
first I omitted the function “firmware” … saved it and then ran the
script.
then I downloaded the images from
http://www.ettus.com/downloads/uhd_releases/master_images/ (the .tar
file)
then I extracted it and copied the image folder into
/usr/local/share/uhd/
then I did chmod 644 thing there (as was written in the script) i.e.
chmod
644 /usr/local/share/uhd/images/*
and everything was great… now i have a gnuradio in my system without
any
error
so finally done… haaaahhh
thanks a lot for the script.

Hello all, I have been trying to install Gnuradio by Marcus Script I am
getting the following message.
“Fetching Gnu Radio via GIT…Done
Fetching UHD via GIT…GIT checkout of UHD FAILED”
what does this mean, what could be wrong and how do I go about
correcting it?
THANK YOU
