Description Brian Harrington 2012-10-24 23:15:19 UTC 
Created attachment 633104 [details]
strace log of gnuradio-companion

Description of problem:

Due to the fact that gnuradio version less than 3.6.2 do not support the -DSYSCONFDIR cmake flag, gnuradio expects configs to be in /usr/etc/ rather than /etc.  This causes programs like gnuradio-companion to fail on start.

This is exacerbated by the fact that gnuradio fails back to a config file in the path ~/.gnuradio/config.conf.  As this is not created by default (which it shouldn't be) this causes gnuradio-companion to choke.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
< 3.6.2

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gnuradio
2. Run gnuradio-companion (strace -f -o /tmp/grc.log gnuradio-companion)
3. Analyze output of /tmp/grc.log
  
Actual results:
Line #:
   5340 32283 close(7)                          = 0
   5341 32283 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/etc/gnuradio/conf.d", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
   5342 32283 open("/home/bharrington/.gnuradio/config.conf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
   5343 32283 close(6)   

Expected results:

Comment 2 Jaroslav Škarvada 2012-10-25 08:58:52 UTC 
Thanks for info. The 3.6.2 update was delayed in Fedora because the upstream is using several release URLs and I didn't follow them all :)
