A few issues with installation Error installing uhd and gnuradio

[questio...@gmail.com]

/*I am currently running kali linux ubuntu 3.7.11-6 amd64.

Been searching for hours but came up empty so I apologize if this has been resolved. 

I was following the installation process from there, https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/wiki/Installation and ran across the following errors:*/

I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the VM all together from before my initial attempt.

Apologies for the long post but from what I gathered researching possible fixes I'm trying to be a detailed as possible. Please let me know if you need anymore information or if I missed anything. Thank you for taking the time to read this and providing any help.*/

Forgot to mention I am doing this as root (hence the no sudo)

That's normal, ignore it. The version pybombs is trying to install can't be compiled with newer version of openssl.

There were internet connection problem or github was down at that time.

Try to (re)fetch uhd

  pybombs fetch uhd

or

  pybombs refetch uhd

If it still fails try to manually clone it

cd /usr/local/src/

git clone https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd.git/

I was still getting an error where gr-gsm was not being installed so I ran this command:

apt-get install gr-gsm

It seemed to install properly but when I ran this next command I got the following:

# grgsm_livemon

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/grgsm_livemon", line 45, in <module>
    from gnuradio import qtgui
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/qtgui/__init__.py", line 37, in <module>
    from range import Range, RangeWidget
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/qtgui/range.py", line 67, in <module>
    class RangeWidget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'QWidget'

I'm at a bit of a loss.
