Thank you so very much for this tutorial guys! Haven't been able to use gr-gsm since the 2016.1 release, until now. :D
During my installation I found something you might want to consider changing.
POST 3 describes the following command to open gnuradio-companion:
gnuradio-companion airprobe_rtlsdr.grc
This produced the following error:

As I can understand it, developer Ptrkrysik changed the commands within gr-gsm with his latest update. In this case
airprobe_rtlsdr is now replaced with
grgsm_livemon
(source:
https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/wiki/Usage)
Using the command
gnuradio-companion grgsm_livemon.grc in /gr-gsm/apps could, in this case be a problem solver.
