The idea is to install GNU Radio globally, and let users handle their
own modules in their own home directories. So you'd install GNU Radio
with sudo as root into /usr/local, and each user installs private
modules into /home/<user>/prefix
When does the error you paste below occur? Before you get the chance to
enter /usr/local as prefix, or after?
Anyway, I'd recommend deleting your pybombs folder and cloning it
cleanly again, running pybombs without root. It should ask you for the
prefix. after that, it should print a warning that you should re-run it
with sudo. Do that. Does the error still occur?
Greetings,
Marcus
