Did you follow the instructions for 9.10?

http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/UbuntuInstall

you need package python-dev

I agree, it should work. :slight_smile:

Check out config.log, see what commands its running and replicate them
in the terminal. See which one fails.

I had the exact same problem. Have you got fort77 installed? This seems
to
be a new dependency for Ubuntu 9.10. That solved my problem. Double
check
the Ubuntu 9.10 install instructions for all the dependencies as there
are a
couple of subtle differences from 9.04. The instructions only went up in
the
last 2 or 3 days.

Cheers
