[Discuss-gnuradio] Fedora Core 5 x86_64 lib install problems

[Eric Hill Matlis]

I'm having issues getting the gnu-radio core libraries installed in the 
correct location on my 64-bit installation of Fedora Core 5.  The problem 
appears to be the separation of the 32-bit and 64-bit libraries.  I 
compiled with:
./for-all-dirs ../buildit -n --prefix=$HOME/z.research/z.gnuradio

After compiling gnuradio-core successfully, gr-audio-alsa fails in the 
check stage with this error:

make[3]: Entering directory 
`/home/matlis/z.research/z.gnuradio/gr-build/gr-audio-alsa/src'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./qa_alsa.py", line 23, in ?
    from gnuradio import gr, gr_unittest
  File 
"/home/matlis/z.research/z.gnuradio/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnuradio/gr/__init__.py", 
line 27, in ?
    from gnuradio_swig_python import *
  File 
"/home/matlis/z.research/z.gnuradio/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnuradio/gr/gnuradio_swig_python.py", 
line 4, in ?
    import _gnuradio_swig_python
ImportError: No module named _gnuradio_swig_python
FAIL: run_tests
===================
1 of 1 tests failed

The test routine is looking in ...lib/python2.4 - shouldn't it look in 
lib64?  This is where _gnuradio_swig_python.so is stored.  I noticed 
"run_tests" in the gr_audio_alsa/src directory contained the following:

# Where to look for installed GNU Radio python modules
# FIXME this is wrong on a distcheck.  We really need to ask gnuradio-core
# where it put its python files.
installed_pythondir=${prefix}/lib/python2.4/site-packages
installed_pyexecdir=${exec_prefix}/lib64/python2.4/site-packages

I noticed the first line referes to lib as opposed to lib64, but changing 
this to lib64 didn't seem to fix the problem.

Here are my environment variables defind in .bash_profile:

GR=$HOME/z.research/z.gnuradio
export GR
PATH=$PATH:.:$GR/bin
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$GR/lib64/pkgconfig/:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig
export 
PYTHONPATH=$GR/lib64/python2.4/site-packages:/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GR/lib64
export CVS_RSH=ssh
export LDFLAGS="-L$GR/lib"

Any suggestions?

thanks!
