My suspicion is that you have a network issue that is preventing 
"apt-get" from fetching the necessary packages.  If you look into
  the script, you can remove the redirection of the output of the 
apt-get command(s) to /dev/null, and let them print out, or place
  them into a logfile, so you can see what the exact error is.

I'm currently the latest build-gnuradio on an Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit 
system, and it's going entirely normally.
