Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] gnuradio.conf file

Hi Barry - The file "gnuradio.conf" resides in "~/.gnuradio/". In my setup, I put the "[grc]"and "xterm" lines in the file "config.conf" in the same directory ... not sure if this is correct ... maybe I could combine them into a single "*.conf"? Anyway ... the entry (after "[grc]") should be something like:
{{{
xterm_executable = /opt/local/bin/xterm
}}}
I just specifies which "xterm" executable to use. GRC should be able to find a default "xterm" assuming it's in a standard system path. On my computer I have the system "xterm" as well as one compiled from source, so I actually use the above line to set the specific "xterm" for GRC to use. Hope this is useful! - MLD
