[Discuss-gnuradio] app crashes with ctrlport enabled. Works fine with ctrlport disabled.

[Achilleas Anastasopoulos]

I have installed ctrlport and playing around with it.

What a great piece of work! thanks guys!

I am running an application (cdma_txrx from my gr-cdma module)

and I notice that with ctrport enabled it crashes, while without it works perfectly.

With ctrport I get the following message that hints at what may be going wrong:

gr::log :INFO: controlport - Apache Thrift: -h jefe.eecs.umich.edu -p 59556
gr::log :WARN: flat_flowgraph - Block (chopper0) max output buffer set to 6656 instead of requested 8192

RuntimeError: block lookup failed! block not found!

when i run it without contrlport i still get the warning

gr::log :WARN: flat_flowgraph - Block (chopper0) max output buffer set to 6656 instead of requested 8192

but the application runs fine.

Can someone suggest what the problem may be, and how to get around it?

thanks
