Actually, it seems that I only have version 1.46 libraries installed, see the attached file. This is really screwed up: I have libboost-dev installed, which according to synaptic is at version 1.48.0.2. Looking in the package info I see that it depends on libboost1.46-dev, which explain why all my boost libs are version 1.46. The same applies to many other boost packages, e.g. libboost-thread-dev. Cmake didn't complain about bad boost version and I can see no version info in CMakeCache.txt. Gnuradio compiles and install just fine. I can rerun cmake and submit the cmake files on a system with boost 1.46 if needed. I have uninstalled the 1.46 libs manually (except those that are required by some applications) and the installed libboost-xyz1.48-dev libraries. recompiled uhd and gnuradio and it seems the run-time issue I was having before (app freezes) is now gone.
