Thank you all for your comments. I re-installed Ubuntu, thinking that it was a problem with my installation, but I get the same errors again.
Marcus, I re-installed git, but I get the same error. I have no idea what is happening. I followed this steps 1 - Installed fresh Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS 2- Installed git, cmake, swig, gnuradio. To install gnuradio, I used: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnuradio/gnuradio-releases $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install gnuradio 3. Then when I use gr_modtool, I get the errors I reported in the first message. Any help would be greatly appreciate it, thanks!
