Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] undefined reference to `pthread_create' while pybombs installation

[sumit kumar]

Ok I managed to fix it but exporting the python path to dist-packages of python 3.6 (I never needed to do this when I used pybombs), 

But now I see a new thing

When I open GNU Radio companion and try to make an example

I see "ID "default" is blacklisted." Figure attached. 

So many new things today!

Hi Vasil, 

Thanks for detailed info. I did that straight away as you suggested. Installation was smooth, but now I am getting "Cannot import gnuradio" error! when I start gnuradio-companion.

I have attached the screenshot and logs

The problem is that cmake cannot find numpy.

It should have been installed by pybombs as the gnuradio recipe contains numpy as dependency [1] and numpy recipe contains deb packages for both python2 [2] and python3 [3].

You have used pip to install pybombs and currently in ubuntu 18.04 pip uses python2 while pip3 uses python3.

When both python3 and python2 are available gnuradio's cmake will choose python3 and mixing python2 (the one used by pybombs) with python3 (the one used by cmake) could lead to many hard to debug problems.

My advice is to remove the pybombs that is using python2, then install it using pip3, remove your prefix directory and ~/.pybombs (or use another directory) and start from scratch. It should be something like:

   pip uninstall pybombs
   pip3 install pybombs
   rm -rf prefix/default/
   rm -rf ~/.pybombs
   pybombs auto-config
   pybombs add-defaults
   pybombs prefix init -a default prefix/default/ -R gnuradio-default

An alternative approach could be to modify the gnuradio recipe (~/.pybombs/recipes/gr-recipes/gnuradio.lwr) and add "-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python2" at the end of config_opt string

     config_opt: " -DENABLE_DOXYGEN=$builddocs -DENABLE_GR_AUDIO=ON -DENABLE_GR_BLOCKS=ON -DENABLE_GR_DIGITAL=ON -DENABLE_GR_FEC=ON -DENABLE_GR_FFT=ON -DENABLE_GR_FILTER=ON -DENABLE_GR_QTGUI=ON -DENABLE_GR_UHD=ON -DENABLE_PYTHON=ON -DENABLE_VOLK=ON -DENABLE_GRC=ON -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python2"
