I'm pulling my hair out over this, I got one those rtl-sdr usb dongles( super cheap 'Software Defined Radio' ) and trying to install GNURadio and it's just driving me mad. I'm running Ultimate Edition 2.6.5 and the dependency issues for GNUradio are just insane I getting stuff that won't install because it needs another dependency thats already installed, it needs libpulse-dev installed but it will not install because it's dependencies are installed????WTF???? but if I remove them then it won't install because they are not there????. My Question is any one here get GNU radio to build on Ultimate Edition or know how to get it to build?? I've never had this much trouble trying to build and install something from source before.

Thanks for any help at all or just for taking the time to read this post.

Lets get some more info on your issue. Paste the output into a site such as http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and paste the url here so we can get a full view of your issue.

Also im assuming you are trying this process via the gnuradio install site?

Using the build-gnuradio script¶
The build-gnuradio is an install script for recent Fedora and Ubuntu systems provided by Marcus Leech. For most users, this is the recommended way.

For the impatient: open a terminal window, move to the directory you would like the source files to be stored (e.g. 'cd src/') and run this command:

$ wget http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio && chmod a+x ./build-gnuradio && ./build-gnuradio

This downloads the installer (build-gnuradio) and makes it executable. It then downloads and installs all dependencies, downloads both UHD and GNU Radio from git (which means it will automatically install the latest version from the 'main' branch), runs the make process and installs it on your system. In most cases, simply running the script will do all you need to get a running GNU Radio system built from source. Also, you still have all the source code lying on your hard disk and therefore available for future modifications. It combines the flexibility of installing from source with the ease of using binaries and is recommended for most users of Ubuntu and Fedora.

Thanks to Marcus Leech for putting this together and hosting it.

This:

Code: Select all: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libasound2-dev : Depends: libasound2 (= 1.0.23-1ubuntu2) libboost-all-dev : Depends: libboost-iostreams-dev but it is not going to be installed Depends: libboost-regex-dev but it is not going to be installed libpulse-dev : Depends: libpulse0 (= 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu21) but 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu21.1 is to be installed Depends: libpulse-mainloop-glib0 (= 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu21) but 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu21.1 is to be installed Depends: libpulse-browse0 (= 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu21) but 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu21.1 is to be installed Depends: libavahi-client-dev but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages

Amongst other stuff like multiple sitings of errors like these:

Code: Select all: Could NOT find Docutils (missing: RST2HTML_EXECUTABLE) -- -- Configuring Manual support... -- Dependency DOCUTILS_FOUND = FALSE -- Disabling Manual support. -- Override with -DENABLE_MANUAL=ON/OFF -- -- Could NOT find Doxygen (missing: DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE) -- -- Configuring Doxygen support... -- Dependency DOXYGEN_FOUND = NO -- Disabling Doxygen support. -- Override with -DENABLE_DOXYGEN=ON/OFF

Lead me to believe that some dependencies are not being met with packages or the build process. I would take this up with the site personnel, maybe a contact form or bug report of forum of some sort.
