The gqrx build system based on qmake uses pkg-config to find the
gnuradio dependencies. The environment to find the pkg-config scripts
is set up by pybombs; however, if you have gnuradio 3.6 installed
system wide in /usr/local/ the old pkg-config files may interfere with
pybombs.

I see no other safe option than to remove gnuradio 3.6 from
/usr/local. If you still need gnuradio 3.6 you can install it under a
prefix other than /usr/local. As long as you have gnuradio 3.6 in
/usr/local it will interfere, not only with gqrx but other
applications as well.
