Dear All, Iam using ubuntu 14.04 LTS, i've a project to be done using the USRP1 (RFX 900 daughterboard),using GNU Radio Companion 3.7.2.1, but I have a problem to find it on my PC which has these specs.: First, when I tried to install the UHD from its official page: http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki/ using the first method : Install with Apt I got the following error: This is all I got from the terminal when running the three commands listed in the website: ________________________________________________________________________________ belal_3hands@Belal:~$ sudo bash

So, could you orient me how to find a solution for this problem please? I hope that as soon as possible. Thanks a lot for your precious time. :)

The instructions on the Ettus website assume that you don't already have an installation of UHD and Gnu Radio--this looks like you already have an (older) installation. Remove that installation, and try again: sudo apt-get remove --purge gnuradio gnuradio* sudo apt-get remove --purge uhd uhd* THEN do the install from the Ettus repositories as described.
