Good evening everyone. I seem be having an issue with installing OP25. After installing via pybombs, scope.py as well as the rest of the scripts are missing.
This is actually the second time installing on this computer. I first began with a clean install from a live CD of Debian 6. Via apt-get I upgraded to Debian 7, and eventually to debian-testing to resolve a dependency issue with libboost. All packages eventually installed then the install built op25. The only contents of ~/pybombs/src were 'uhd' and 'wxpython'.
Trying again, I deleted the pybombs and target directories from /home and cloned pybombs again. I ran pybombs install and since all the packages were already installed it quickly went to building op25. Again after several hours most things are still missing. There were no errors during the build and a quick search of 'op25' and 'gnuradio' only find the .lwr files in the recipes directory, no directories anywhere. Also nothing in the syslog other than the hourly cron runs.
The only thing I can possibly think of that might be related is that currently this machine is command line only. Unless I'm missing something I believe I should be able to build and even run certain parts of op25 without a GUI.
This is the first time with this computer, but I've built and ran op25 before on another one. The funny thing is that there are no errors anywhere I look.
Any ideas?
Thanks Brett KQ9N
I think I ran into the same problem in the past. They turned out to be in a completely different location. It's definitely there somewhere, just have to find it. I think the .py files were inside a 'repeater' folder. Sorry for the limited help, I'm nowhere near a computer.

Right, they should be under pybombs/src/gr-op25_repeater/... or something to that effect. However, 'scope.py' does not exist anywhere on the computer.

Brett,
This isn't a direct solution to your problem -- just a recommendation.
If you don't have any particular dislike for Linux Mint 17 (64-bit preferably if you have a 64-bit computer), you really might want to install Linux Mint 17 and go through the process as outlined by PiccoIntegra on the Radioreference forums:

That thread is full of very detailed instructions for successfully installing pybombs, gnuradio, OP25, and any udev rules you may need for a particular device. The instructions work remarkably well on Linux Mint 17 (and I say this based upon personal experience).
On that particular platform (Linux Mint 17 64-bit), I can go through the instructions and successfully install OP25 and use .scope.py every time. If you must run Linux Mint 32-bit, there is one place where you might run into trouble during the gnuradio build ( libvolk.so.0.0.0: undefined reference to `volk_64u_popcnt_a_sse4_2′ at Airwaves http://goo.gl/VvrrIC

) .
If your device requires udev rules to be installed, they won't by default because you will probably be installing as a non-root user and simply sudo'ing. As such you'll have to manually install and activate the rules. That is also discussed in the RadioReference thread.
You'll [likely] also want to edit the gr-op25.lwr recipe prior to attempting to build OP25 so that you can use the 'max' branch instead of 'master' branch. There are some benefits to that such as trunked voice following and things like that.
If you get time, check out the thread. Scott [PiccoIntegra] and Max [KA1RBI] have provided all the information needed.
NOTE: Theoretically you should be able to install everything on any distribution, but I've found nothing that works without a lot of issues except for Linux Mint 17 and the instructions in the RR thread.
