Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] QTGUI Issue

[Richard Bell]

Executing 'export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libqwt.so.5' allows me to run 'from gnuradio import qtgui' from a python prompt successfully. However, when I start grc and attempt to run a flowgraph as a test, I still get this error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'QWidget'

I uninstalled all the qwt and pyqwt modules and all components pybombs installed and started over.

I watched the qwt install closely. Pybombs installs through rpm the following:

PyQwt-5.2.0

PyQwt-devel-5.2.0

qwt-5.1.1

qwt-devel-5.1.1

It first identified qwt-5.1.1 as being an invalid version number, but when I ran pybombs install again, it used those versions that the rpm had to install. I'm not sure why it allows itself to download invalid versions.

If I try and force an install from source, it fails on pyqwt. I attempted to debug that further and got as far as configuring sip manually to overcome a sip import error that causes the 'source configure.py' step of pyqwt to fail. This then lead to several qt errors, at which point I stopped.

I'm struggling to figure out a solution.

As it seems, at compile time, the 5.1.1 version was used, whilst at runtime the 5.2.0 version from your ~/Documents/target prefix seems to be found. That's a bit strange, since pybombs should use the qwt version that it downloaded (ie. 5.2.0 in your case). Maybe it's all the other way around...

If you

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libqwt.so.5

before running your GNU Radio application from the same terminal, does it help? what about using export LD_PRELOAD=/home/tsvcis/Documents/pybombs/src/qwt5/lib/libqwt.so.5 ?

OK Marcus. The shared object file does exist in two directories. Full output of comands below, with matches bolded:

/usr/lib64/libqwt.so.5
/usr/lib64/libqwt.so.5.1.1
/usr/lib64/libqwt.so.5.1

The only thing I could think to do was rename the files in /usr/lib64. I don't see this as having an effect. What should I do to resolve this from here?

Thanks a lot,
Rich

Hi Richard,

this looks like you've installed a "good" version of QWT, which is used when building GNU Radio, but when running a GNU Radio program, a different version of the QWT library is loaded, which leads to missing symbols.

My first approach would be to run ldd on /home/tsvcis/Documents/target/lib64/libgnuradio-qtgui-3.7.7git.so.0.0.0 , and see which qwt lib linux will try to load at runtime:
ldd /home/tsvcis/Documents/target/lib64/libgnuradio-qtgui-3.7.7git.so.0.0.0|grep qwt.

Then search for files that have the same base name, in this case libqwt.so .

Marcus

Problem: I can't use qtgui blocks. Wxgui blocks work. My system is CentOS 6.6 running gnuradio 3.7.6 installed using pybombs.

Debug: I've run cmake in pybombs/gnuradio/src/build to make sure qtgui was enabled during install, and it is. The only gnuradio components disabled that are listed by cmake are doxygen, sphinx, gr-comedi and gr-zeromq.

I then opened a terminal to test library imports. I can 'import gnuradio' and I can 'from gnuradio import wxgui', as you would expect. When I try, 'from gnuradio import qtgui', I get the following output:

>>> import gnuradio
>>> from gnuradio import wxgui
>>> from gnuradio import qtgui
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: /home/tsvcis/Documents/target/lib64/libgnuradio-qtgui-3.7.7git.so.0.0.0: undefined symbol: _ZN7QwtPlot16staticMetaObjectE
>>>

Conclusion: There is a problem with my qtgui install but I don't know how to debug any further to apply a fix. I've googled the traceback output with no luck. I'm hoping someone has come across and fixed this issue before who could explain what's going on.

v/r,
Rich
