I am trying to get GNU Radio working on a Mac OS X 10.7.4 Air laptop. I
installed most of the required packages via MacPorts, and then pulled
GNU Radio from git.
It installed O.K., but dies like this:
Using Volk machine: sse4_1_64
gr-osmosdr supported device types: file fcd rtl rtl_tcp uhd
Using device #0: ezcap USB 2.0 DVB-T/DAB/FM dongle
Found Elonics E4000 tuner
Exact sample rate is: 1000000.026491 Hz

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This part of the code is returningNone for self._grid_compiled_list_id
If I add in some if statements to proceed further, I then ran into a
problem with some padding variables not being initializedin
grid_plotter_base.py. To get aroun these, I add
The radio part works under the multimode receiver, but the visual
graphs parts do not work.
Any ideas? I can successfully listen to the NOAA Weather Station and to
some local FM stations using the multimode.py Multimode Radio Receiver,
and can load the grc file and start it up within the GNU Radio
Companion, so most of GNU Radio is working O.K., just not the graphics
parts.
Thank you,
Dan Weeks

Dan,
Sorry, which application are you trying to run that’s causing this
problem?
Also, it might be easier to get started by using GNU Radio Companion.
Just launch gnuradio-companion and drop down an RTL source block and
connect it to a wxgui FFT sink (or QT GUI, but GRC defaults to using
WX, so that’s probably easier). Then run the graph and see what you
get.
Trying to get gnuradio to work on 10.7.4 Air with an ezcap USB 2.0
DVB-T/DAB/FM dongle. Installed gnuradio using the titanous /
homebrew-gnuradio approach.
Using gnuradio with qt-gui with a simple grc configuration, I can hear
some (less than perfect) FM audio and can see the various graphs
dynamically in real time. This argues that gnuradio and supporting
software are installed relatively correctly, and that the rtlsdr dongle
can be recognized.
But if I try to use multimode.py (which uses wxGui items), after
installing installing PyOpenGL-3.0.2b2, it dies with the error message
“OpenGL.error.Error: Attempt to retrieve context when no valid context”
More detail pasted in below. I am mystified re how to solve this.
Has anyone gotten multimode.py to work properly, with the graphical
displays, on a 10.7.4 Mac OS X machine?
Thank you,
Dan
