Thanks, Tom!

Digression warning:

While we're on the topic, I've always wondered if virtualenv would help with build dependency problems and multiple installed versions (e.g. for devs).  I have never immersed myself into the tool, but I know that it is intended for things like this where you want to install specific package versions for a specific application without affecting other things on your system.  It's a sandbox, I guess.  What I've never been clear on is whether it works for C/C++ applications, since it seems to be a python tool.  Do you have any thoughts on that?

Very Respectfully,

Dan CaJacob

That there confirms that the Ice 3.4.2 library is installed on your
system, which is what I was expecting.

And that tells us that GNU Radio is trying to build using the Ice libs
in /usr/lib, which is where apt-get would have installed ICE, so yeah,
it's trying to build off Ice 3.4.2.

You could solve this pretty easily by doing an "aptitude remove
libzeroc-ice" to get rid of Ice 3.4.2 altogether on your system. But
I'm more interested in solving this issue in general.

I've brought up a VM that has this behavior. Let me see about working
out a solution.
