But if you get hackrf libs through Ubuntu's package manager, do so
before building anything related to HackRF (i.e. before running pybombs,
especially before installing gr-osmosdr); The problem is that a program
links against a specific ABI of a library -- in general, against
*exactly* the same version of the library that was there when the
program was being built. This means that getting hackrf /libhackrf0 from
Ubuntus repositories will not make your version of GNU Radio built
before that installation use that library -- you'll have to recompile
gr-osmosdr to get that functionality.

In fact, if you just use pyBombs' default setting of installing from deb
if a sufficient version can be found, Hackrf/libhackrf will
automatically be installed from Ubuntu's repos if you
pybombs install gr-osmosdr

So, my way of doing this would be, on a freshly set up system (with
nothing related to this previously installed):

* getting pybombs
* (sudo) ./pybombs install gnuradio gr-osmosdr

and you should get a running system -- Ubuntu 14.04 is probably the most
prolific target for pybombs these days, and the defaults should be
"pretty safe".

Best regards,
Marcus
