title: WX Blocks Not Installed in GNURadio on Ubuntu 16.04
body: <p>I was trying to install GNURadio on my Ubuntu 16.04 using the follwoing command:</p>
  
  <p><code>wget http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio &amp;&amp; chmod a+x build-gnuradio &amp;&amp; ./build-gnuradio</code></p>
  
  <p>which is found on the following GNURadio webpage link:</p>
  
  <p>(<a href="http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/InstallingGRFromSource" rel="nofollow">http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/InstallingGRFromSource</a>)</p>
  
  <p>First, when the script was checking for packages, I noticed the following two warning messages:</p>
  
  <p>"Failed to find package 'python-wxgtk2.8' in known package repositories. Some things may not build as a result"</p>
  
  <p>"Failed to find package 'libzmq1-dev' in known package repositories. Some things may not build as a result"</p>
  
  <p>which at the end did not install the WX GUI or the associated WX GNURadio blocks. I tried to manually install "python-wxgtk2.8" using the following command:</p>
  
  <p><code>sudo get-apt install python-wxgtk2.8</code></p>
  
  <p>but I got the the following message:</p>
  
  <p>"Package python-wxgtk2.8 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source"</p>
  
  <p>I am not sure if this is an Ubuntu 16.04 or GNURadio issue. Could you please provide a step-by-step instructions on how to solve this issue and have the WX blocks installed in my GNURadio?</p>
