Forum: GNU Radio Re: WX GUI Errors on MacOS

I'm running MacOS 10.8.2 and have no controls for my waterfall sink and 
the
constellation sink was yelling, "No module named OpenGL". I installed
py27-opengl thinking it was an issue with the wrapper, but now all my
widgets show the error Steven was having in April:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio...

"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gnuradio/wxgui/plotter/plotter_base.
py",
 line 58, in draw
    GL.glNewList(self._grid_compiled_list_id, GL.GL_COMPILE)
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 1: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: wrong 
type

Other reading suggests there may not be an OpenGL context when
plotter_base.py calls the glNewList command; but I'm not much of an 
OpenGL
expert. Any thoughts or direction, this one's been haunting me for a few
days. Thanks!

Just turn off the OpenGL stuff. Look in
$prefix/etc/gnuradio/conf.d/gr-wxgui.conf and set 'style=nongl'.

"Just turn off the OpenGL stuff. Look in

Thanks for the suggestion Tom, but I've already given this a shot with 
no
luck, as well as making sure my ~/.gnuradio/config.conf was also set to
nongl.

 - When I have py27-opengl active, I get the plotter_base.py 'wrong 
type'
error for all my widgets.

 - When I deactivate py27-opengl, and change the configuration to nongl, 
I
get no constellation plot and missing controls (all blue) for the 
waterfall.

Have you tried using the gr-qtgui sinks? You'll have to roll your own
application as right now all our main apps use wxgui, but that might 
work
better for you.

"Have you tried using the gr-qtgui sinks?"

The QT GUI sink works great, and I'll have to stick with that from now 
on. I
really liked the wxgui interface from using gnuradio in ubuntu, and 
figured
I'd take a shot at fixing it on the mac.

Thanks anyway,

David, I'm having the same problem with OpenGL and WX GUI on a Mac, 
please let me know if you sort this out.

Thanks

I am having the same problem too with the same configuration.
