Re: GNURADIO installation on windows using conda fails

[Ryan Volz]

Hi Achilleas,

I think you've probably hit a bug caused by a recent rebuild of the glib 
package:

https://github.com/conda-forge/glib-feedstock/issues/162

The change causing this has been reverted, so if you start fresh and 
install in a clean environment now you probably won't have the error 
with gdk_pixbuf.

Cheers,
Ryan
