Leonardo,

you might even want to install even GNU Radio yourself (i.e., your IT 
department installs nothing except for the build tools; gcc, cmake, 
boost...). With PyBOMBS, that's really easy to do. It also allows you to 
update GNU Radio versions at any time, and, more importantly, on a 
user-by-user basis. This is nice when one user needs new features from 
latest GNU Radio, but others don't want to update in order to not having 
to change their own stuff.

Cheers,
Martin
