Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander)

Hi Tom,

That fixed PyQwt.  Then did a cmake, make, sudo make install of all gnuradio sucessfully.

When I try to run a flowgraph, the error in the GRC console window is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/tom/Desktop/top_block.py", line 16, in <module>
    import PyQt4.Qwt5 as Qwt
ImportError: No module named Qwt5

looking at the packages *qwt*

$ dpkg -l '*qwt*'

Ah, ok. This is why we have to install PyQT ourselves and can't rely
on the Ubuntu-installed code. That QtCoremod.sip file is installed
when we install PyQT. My guess is that you have to set up the
environmental variables before trying to configure PyQWT. I updated
the webpage to do this before anything else, so go and look at the new
order of instructions and see if that helps.

I think I did this myself and then wrote up the description out of
order because I thought it made more logical sense. Hopefully this
does it for you.

Tom
