No, they are hosed!

They should be absolute paths, starting with a /
Note that the unexpanded prefixes are @abs_top_builddir@ and @abs_top_srcdir@
Where abs means absolute.

On my machines they look like this:

 
swigbld=/home/eb/gr-build/gnuradio-core/src/python/gnuradio/gr/../../../.././src/lib/swig
 
swigsrc=/home/eb/gr-build/gnuradio-core/src/python/gnuradio/gr/../../../../src/lib/swig
 
py=/home/eb/gr-build/gnuradio-core/src/python/gnuradio/gr/../../../../src/python

This may be related to your use of AFS.

How are you invoking configure?

You might want to try adding the --srcdir=DIR option to configure,
where DIR is an absolute path (starts with /) to the source directory.

Thanks!

That's a reasonable question ;)

I'll add a README and/or docs in the code to explain what they
do.  Some of them, such as the debug_* ones are moving targets and
your mileage may vary.

It goes something like this:

  gnuradio-examples/python/audio        # basic audio sanity tests.

  gnuradio-example/python/usrp          # examples that require a USRP.
                                        # and some kind of daughterboard.
                                        # the ones that start with
                                        # dbs_* require a DBS_RX daughterboard, 
                                        # tvrx_* require a TV_RX daughterboard.
