Hey George, I remember when I had the same exact problem as you, trying to install gnuradio on a virtual machine for the convenience (had to switch to FC5 to make sure GNU radio on VMware was possible, and surely it was) until I finally decided to use a native system instead (as you might know the limitation that a virtual machine imposes on gnuradio in general just make it not worth it).
As Cameron has said in the parent posts, to install gnuradio the easy way on a fresh installation of FC8 (instead of going through and making it) is to do: $ yum install gnuradio $ yum install gnuradio-examples that worked for me. The path where it installed the examples for me was: /usr/share/gnuradio/examples/ and if you try out "audio/dial_tone.py", it should work. now the next step - at least for me - was to get the USRP board to communicate with GNU radio so for example "usrp/usrp_wfm_rcv.py" would work, and for that I'm waiting for Cameron's answer again. hope that helped.
