title: Installing GNU Radio on ubuntu
body: <p>Im trying to install GNU Radio, I need this to be able to install <code>gqrx</code> to use my software defined radio dongle.</p>
  
  <p>I have followed the guide at <a href="https://www.jeroennijhof.nl/wiki/index.php/Software-Defined_Radio_on_Ubuntu" rel="nofollow">https://www.jeroennijhof.nl/wiki/index.php/Software-Defined_Radio_on_Ubuntu</a> but the installation aborts because cheetah isn't installed. Python-cheetah is in fact installed in its latest version, running <code>sudo apt-get install python-cheetah</code> only states that it is already installed. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know why GNU Radio doesn't accept that Cheetah is installed?</p>
  
  <p>Output from installation attempt:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-- Python checking for Cheetah &gt;= 2.0.0
  -- Python checking for Cheetah &gt;= 2.0.0 - not found
  CMake Error at volk/CMakeLists.txt:62 (message):
