I am new to GNU Radio and was focusing on training using GretScott's website.
I am running Windows 10. I installed 3.7.13.5/v1.6 from the official site and noticed I was missing blocks. I decided to uninstall and install 3.8.0.0/v1.7
The instalation went well, though I also noticed a message in the command prompt after launch:
WARNING:gnuradio.grc.core.platform:Slow YAML loading (libyaml not available)
<<< Welcome to GNU Radio Companion 3.8.0.0 >>>
Block paths:
C:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.8\share\gnuradio\grc\blocks
I didn't give it much thought and proceeded to rummage through Companion. I noticed the blocks that were missing initially were now available. However, I no longer have any WX blocks.
Is there a way I can download these blocks as .yml and place them in the block path?
I have tried to install PyYAML from github's link and then ran:
python setup.py install
I also ran:
pip install -U wxPython
No luck on either try, WX Blocks are still missing and I still get the (libyaml not available) message on command prompt.
WX GUI is deprecated in GR 3.8 If you want to use 3.8, see https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGR Also take a look at https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/Tutorials
