[Discuss-gnuradio] Qt installation

Hello,

I was able to install PyQt.  When I attempted to build gnuradio, it complained that it could not find PyQwt and refused to build the gr-qtgui component.  The gnuradio website gives the impression it is not necessary.  When I attempted to install Qwt, I got an error QT_STATIC_CONST.  I believe that is a necessary step to installing PyQwt. 

Is PyQwt necessary to install the gr-qtgui component?  If so, has anyone experienced this issue before?

Thanks,

Alex
