Ok. Thanks for the tips.

I had to remove gnuradio manually because no make uninstall was working. 

Right now, I am trying to install the old version. That might seem odd but
the program I have to show working friday, which wasn't made by me, only
works for the old version. I tried to adapt it to the new version and it
runs however, it doesn't have the same behavior has it had for the old
installation. Since it wasn't me who did the code I feel safer using the old
version for now.

I've found the gnuradio installation folder used by someone before me. I
installed the 3.4.1 version with it. However it didn't install the uhd.

The instructions I found for installing the uhd seem to install the newer
version. However, I want the version that works with 3.4.1. Any suggestion?
