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](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) Candidate: 1.48.0.2 Version table: 1.48.0.2 0 500 [Index of /ubuntu](http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/) precise/universe amd64 Packages apt-cache policy libboost-dev libboost-dev: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.48.0.2 Version table: 1.48.0.2 0 500 [Index of /ubuntu](http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/) precise/main amd64 Packages 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 ? Linux Edge 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86\_64 x86\_64 x86\_64 GNU/Linux ---

My one suggestion is to try and use PyBOMBS to install GNU Radio: [http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/pybombs/wiki](http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/pybombs/wiki) 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.
