Thank You - Tom and Josh. That worked for us - installed 1-46-dev with 
synaptic. This installed boost libs in /usr/lib and include file in 
/usr/include/boost. gnuradio configure can find them so the only 
components skipped were  gr-comedi, gr-video-sdi, gr-shd, gr-fcd - I 
think usually harmless. We ran
make check and most went well but apparently an error no module 
digital_swig as attech. Will look further on this one. Also gnuradio 
companion comes up but errors on the simple dial_tone. One diagnostic 
(attached gcerror) says n such file or dir /dev/dsp - using Volk machine 
- runtime error audio_oss_sink. Don't know if this id related to failed 
make check test.

Other thought should we have used cmake instead?

Thank you
J. and dad
