Hi, I am trying to install UHD and GR373 on Linux Mint13.
I follow http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki/GNURadio_Linux
When I run:
sudo apt-get install -t precise uhd
I get an error:
uhd : Depends: libboost-all-dev but it is not going to be installed

apt-cache policy libboost-all-dev

libboost-all-dev:
  Installed: (none)

sudo apt-get install libboost-dev
 libboost-dev : Depends: libboost1.46-dev but it is not going to be installed


So now it is a problem, as gnuradio373 will disable components as libboost1.46 is known as "bad".
And why libboost1.48-dev depends on libboost1.46-dev ????

It looks like Mint 13 has libboost1.48, which is ok. But I cannot install libboost-all-dev and then cannot install UHD.
How to solve the problem ?

Sorry, Robert, this sounds like something to do with your setup and possibly Mint that would be really hard for us to debug externally.

My one suggestion is to try and use PyBOMBS to install GNU Radio:

With luck, it will just install its own version of Boost at version 1.53, but I'm afraid your OS might be in a state with various versions of Boost that could confuse the PyBOMBS build system.
