RE: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio on VMWare

[Mr. mollasadra]

I knew it was something stupid.
After installing everything, (this being on a virtual machine) I forgot to restart the operating system.
So after a simple restart, everything seems to work fine now.

The only remaining question is: how many of those modules that ./configure said it was skipping am I suppose to get
because they are  unnecessary  (depending on my operating system requirements, sound card, etc) and how many were skipped
because of the lack of some dependencies?

Thanks for the help.
