I started on a second computer last evening to try Centos/Allstar as a base.
I used the Acid disk. I was able to get a lot of the prerequisites
installed but a few are eluding me. I added the repoforge repository to my
machine which houses a bunch of the general linux program parts that are
needed. Most were able to be installed with yum.
I ran out of time so still have more to build. I am keeping notes on what
was in Acid and what I had to add
I am scraping build information from a
couple places. CentOS without a GUI does make it more difficult to build
some of this but in the long run will probably be a better more compact
build.
I saw that ACID has a python 2.4 directory as you noted
I will be running
into the same issue I am sure. What the answer is I found notes about making
a symbolic link to point the machine path to the correct python directory (
kind of an alias thing) so it can find the correct version. The notes were
relative to python 3. Something relative to newer builds on Arch Linux which
is a bleeding edge version of RHEL of which CentOS is a clone.
I do agree that the build docs need some updating and more
concise details if versions are an issue.. I see they are circa 2009-2010
ish so makes for some stumbling along the way.

I started with ACID, figuring it has to work there, so...
If we want this to work with the most popular Allstar distro, someone has to
get it built on there and then publish how. While not quite a novice, I am
not experienced enough to get it working. I also find that people that write
instructions for building things on linux tend to assume their audience
already knows how to build it!

I was able to get GNU Radio to compile with no major errors ( read as
program stops J ) , to get op25 svn imported, the three op25 modules to
compile and install I *THINK* without major errors. Tonight I will go
through the build logs and see if I missed anything important. I had
errors
regarding port audio missing on my Debian build but
they did not go bang
on
Ububtu 10.04 LTS.
I am not trying to steal your thread here, just comparing results along
the
way
and maybe sharing stumbles
Did you start with an Acid build??? I am thinking in the *production*
edition I will need to do that
..
I have no confidence it all built correctly yet but the installs at least
completed

Actually I had RTFM but there's so much there I forgot about that page.
I put a lot of time into this yesterday, trying to build all the parts.
I'm
using CentOS as that is what the ACID distro is built
on for Allstar, and
it
works well. But trying to get this stuff built is a
major exercise in
frustration. Every package I tried to build was missing some other
dependency, which was missing some other dependency, it was a chain of
missing things. I never got anything built. One make complained about
python
not being at least 2.5, (I had 2.4), so I installed
2.6, verified it with
python-V, and still couldn't run the make file. It still thought I had
2.4,
and I have no idea how to fix that. I'll probably
go back to it after I
pull
my fist out of the wall but so far it has not been
fun.

or you could spend $ on a store-bought FMD meter : )
