I just updated http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio  to at least 
detect when the directory structure it fetches from www.ettus.com
  is invalid, and it can't determine the file to download.  It prints 
an error message and exits--not much more it can do.  It's hard to
  make install scripts have "intuition" :-)
