[Discuss-gnuradio] volk issues on 32-bit hardware?

[Marcus D. Leech]

I've a user who's trying to install my simple_ra code.  It builds just fine, but upon running, runs into a linker error involving VOLK:

raceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/peter/bin/simple_ra_receiver.py", line 23, in <module>

ImportError: /usr/local/lib/libgnuradio-digital-3.7.6.1.so.0.0.0: undefined symbol: volk_32f_binary_slicer_8i


This is a 32-bit install of Ubuntu 14.04, I don't know exactly what type of hardware.

I vaguely recall noise about 32-bit VOLK installs becoming confused, but I can't find that thread.

They installed using build-gnuradio, and that apparently worked just fine  (or, at least, didn't fail to the point that build-gnuradio noticed).
