As I mentioned before, we appreciate your script and I used it to get
GnuRadio running under Ubuntu. I'm afraid to 'upgrade' that since it 
might break and it is the only 3.5 version I have working.

If I ever get the FreeBSD script working, it will be available. Also
Diane may make a FreeBSD port (will need uhd and gnuradio tarballs at
some fixed location).

And josh has fixed some things to improve that but there are still a few
issues I am trying to isolate.

Hard to understand since the file is NOT there. I think the printed line
is probably different from the actual directory used.
