My expectation is that eventually, there will be "conventional" installers for Gnu Radio + UHD for Windows, Linux, and MacOS environments, and that those installers will be kept fairly up-to-date with the development sources. But we're not there yet. I used my own "build-gnuradio" script to do a GIT-based install of Gnu Radio + UHD on a Ubuntu 10.0 VM last week, and it went flawlessly--I didn't run into the problem you had with it being unable to find the libraries. But my script does a refresh of ldconfig after doing the "make install", so perhaps that's why I didn't run into the problem you ran into. -- Principal Investigator Shirleys Bay Radio Astronomy Consortium http://www.sbrac.org
