Hi Nick!
I did.  When I run it I get:
Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

I am not on a thin client, I am on a fresh load of 16.04 on an actual PC. I do believe that sudo isn't actually sudo, but a script. That said, I wasn't having sudo issues before I reloaded my machine (which was running 14.04).

Thanks!

Jason, did you try
pip install --upgrade setuptools

as a first step? Are you running on a special setup such as a patchwork virtual machine being served to you on a thinclient with f**ed permissions?

Cheers,
Nick M.

    I am still stuck at this stage. Assuming I am dead in the water,
what is the next best (approved) way of installing GnuRadio? Doing it by hand from the github clone?
