Tom,

I believe that I'm running the version that comes with SuSE 11 and updated to SP3. v 1.36.0-12.3.1. I'm using it, because I thought that the easy installation of many of the necessary libraries/tools might make it convenient and easier to build gnu-radio.

All of the others worked fine, after I exclude the test for qa_constellation_receiver.

    100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 175

After the test failure, I've not done anything further, because I didn't think I could.

That seems strange that you're using Boost 1.36; that version is quite old. But I think that's correct. It looks like OpenSuse is using boost 1.53.

We build against Boost 1.35; that's the minimum version we support. On the other hand, it's probably been a while since anyone's tried to run against a version that old. I know most people who use distros with older packages, like CentOS/Redhat, tend to hand-install a version of Boost that's much newer.

Having said that, we say we build and run against Boost 1.35, so until we produce a new version, we should still. I'll have to see if I can install and test against that and verify that that's the problem.

Bruce, what version of Boost are you using? Do any other tests throw
out that boost::bad_any_cast failure but complete anyways?
