[Discuss-gnuradio] Unable to run tests

[n4hy]

All of my usual tricks to get past these test failures now fail.  This 
seems to be the heart of the problem in the tests in gnuradio-core


   import _gnuradio_swig_python
ImportError: 
/usr/local/src/gr-build/gnuradio-core/src/lib/swig/.libs/_gnuradio_swig_python.so: 
undefined symbol: _Z21gr_make_float_to_charv


I have been skipping the tests for a while on gnuradio-core and forcing 
the install.  I am at a place where I am no longer comfortable doing 
this without an explanation of what is happening.
