I'll once again do some personal horn-tooting, if y'all can stand it:

http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio


It takes care of downloading/building UHD+Gnu Radio, including 
downloading the latest firmware, installing pre-requisites, and uninstalling
  any installed-from-binary-packages "stuff" that might interfere with 
a "built from source" build of Gnu Radio.

It works for Ubuntu and Fedora recent releases.

It's a shell script.  It takes quite a while to run, and generally 
operates as silently as is practical.
