[Discuss-gnuradio] gnuradio-companion segmentation fault

[robert mounger]

Greetings, 

I have been trying to install & run gnuradio for a couple of weeks now. No 
matter what I do I get a segmentation fault. eventually did a fresh  install of 
ubuntu 14.04.2 & got the build-gnuradio script; installed & ran; segfault.

dmesg >
gnuradio-compan[537]: segfault at 27eb6 ip 00027eb6 sp bfb89e0c error 14 in 
python2.7[8048000+2a9000]

tried to add some packages, the last cmake results are here:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://pastebin.com/5x0T25QP 

the closest thing to errors is:
-- ######################################################
-- # Gnuradio disabled components                        
-- ######################################################
--   * gr-comedi
--   * gr-zeromq

looking at the install guide I thought perhaps I needed more packages so I ran 
this line:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sudo apt-get -y install git-core cmake g++ python-dev swig pkg-config 
libfftw3-dev libboost1.55-all-dev libcppunit-dev libgsl0-dev libusb-dev 
libsdl1.2-dev python-wxgtk2.8 python-numpy python-cheetah python-lxml doxygen 
libxi-dev python-sip libqt4-opengl-dev libqwt-dev libfontconfig1-dev 
libxrender-dev python-sip python-sip-dev 

& got this

I'm thinking this is an ubuntu problem, not a gnuradio problem, but I wanted to 
check here first.

Can you see anything I am doing wrong?

Thank You very much
