Re: New install of GNU Radio executes old version

Hi Jim,

sorry for jumping in so late, I've been travelling.

I'm super confused as to *why* you're going through all this. And, yes,
libuhd4.2.0 is *not* the name of library package.

I've tried skimming the thread, and quite honestly, it's a bit of a
collection of conflicting approaches, and it feels like that's setting
you up for a hard time.

Now, let's get this sorted as easily as possible: Just to verify,
because, again, conflicting things,

1. what version of GNU Radio do you want to install

1.1 importantly: and why?

2. on which version of which OS (`cat /etc/os-release` might be the most
authorative you can get)

My *suspicion* is that knowing the answer to 1.1 gives me the info I'd
need to give you a "tried and tested" way forward. Building GNU Radio on
a Raspberry Pi certainly is *not* a desirable detour, if it can *at all*
be avoided.

Best,
Marcus
