Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Instaling Baseline requirment problem

[Robert McGwier]

SUSE 9.3 is spectacularly solid with GnuRadio, has the low latency 
patches in the updated kernels, and YAST (Yet Another Somethingorother 
Tool) is really quite lovely as a system management tool.  Upgrades are 
trivial.    They distribute with a buggy version of gcc which they 
appear to have patched.  What the patches consist of, I am too lazy 
and/or busy to find out.  I downloaded and installed gcc 3.4.4 and have 
been very happy.

Just do not try to upgrade Gtk until Eric and or others tell us that 
they have upgraded to (say) Gtk 2.8 and beyond and all of the funkiness 
with atk, pango, etc. have been worked out.  I will really be happy to 
get an upgraded set of Gtk/Python tools at my disposal because the 
initialization of the controls (or lack thereof) is a pain.  We should 
not have to touch controls to initialize them, or we should standardize 
on rc files where the "last setting" or a set of profiles is stored and 
read at user control.  If I had time,   I would do it.  I do not have 
time.  I need to use the USRP/GnuRadio for specific tasks and that 
consumes the time I have available for this.  BTW,  wxPython2.6.1 
builds, installs, and works with the Gtk distributed with SUSE 9.3

SUSE 9.3 is why I have been stable on one distribution for months.
