When installing ossie I changed the default install-path and applied the patch to use gnuradio 3.2 (previously posted in this forum: http://listserv.vt.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0911&L=ossie-discuss&T=0&I=-3&P=1140 ), but other than that I just ran the build-script.

Yes, the patch doesn't use pkgconfig to find the usrp libs, so you
will need to add your install directory to the search path. You can do
this by setting appropriate environment variables - see CPPFLAGS. Run
./configure --help for details.

Alternatively, you can easily modify the USRP configure.ac to use
pkgconfig by removing the existing usrp bits and adding the following
line outside of the C++ block. Then rerun ./reconf.

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(USRP, usrp > 3.2)

Hope that helps. I'm traveling at the moment so my time and access is
rather limited.
