Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Which LinuxOS to use?-->1.Unbuntu, Fedora, Mandrake, FreeBSD

[Robert McGwier]

Lamar:

I installed Ubunto 5.X and GnuRadio just made and ran after I used apt 
(synaptic) to download any package GnuRadio could not find.  With Ubunto 
6.0X  I had to make a modification to aclocal.m4  (and I am sure there 
are other ways to fix it) in gnuradio-core but otherwise,  it just 
compiled and ran.  It is easy to install and maintain and with the 
opening up to universe, multiverse,  nongpl code as opposed to Debian on 
which it is based,  I find I am not building out of necessity.  I have 
CHOSEN (for example) to build swig.1.2.latest for various reasons but I 
did not need to.
