Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] CentOS pymbombs install

[Marcus D. Leech]

I've been running into difficulties using pybombs on my CentOS machine. I was told many users in the community use CentOS successfully so I'm looking to you for guidance. I am following the pybombs install instructions here:

http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/pybombs/wiki/QuickStart

The uhd install completes without any issue. Pybombs identifies missing dependencies, installs them all and then installs uhd. Great.

When I begin the gnuradio install, it identifies missing dependencies, begins installing them, but whenever it gets to pygobject, I run into the following issue:

This happened yesterday and it's happening today. Can someone help me through this please.

Appreciated,

This really has nothing to do with PyBombs or Gnu Radio.

Your distributions Repo is pointing you at a mirror that doesn't have the file that it should have.  Not sure if there's a way on Centos to flush
  things so that it tries a different mirror.

Perhaps:

sudo yum clean all

And try again?

Pybombs just uses your native package-management framework to fetch and install "stuff".  It doesn't know much about the internals of that, but
  relies on your systems package-management system to be "sane".  In this case, some part of it is "insane", and there's nothing that PyBombs
  can do about that.
