Hello, I have following environment:

Newest Xcode + homebrew port for other needed software/libs.  
gr is installed via SVN.

When running make I get this problem which I cant pass:

Making all in hid  
Makefile:935: \*\*\* extraneous `else’. Stop.  
make[5]: \*\*\* [all-recursive] Error 1  
make[4]: \*\*\* [all] Error 2  
make[3]: \*\*\* [all-recursive] Error 1  
make[2]: \*\*\* [all] Error 2  
make[1]: \*\*\* [all-recursive] Error 1  
make: \*\*\* [all] Error 2

and make check produces this error message:

dyld: Symbol not found: \_volk\_machine\_sse2\_32  
Referenced from: /Users/ifreq/gnuradio/volk/lib/.libs/libvolk.0.dylib  
Expected in: flat namespace  
in /Users/ifreq/gnuradio/volk/lib/.libs/libvolk.0.dylib  
/bin/sh: line 1: 65660 Trace/BPT trap: 5 ${dir}$tst

Waiting for possible fix, thanks in advance! 🙂

Terve Mikko,

Have you tried to remove/reposition the extraneous `else’ and build  
again?

Mikko - It looks like you’re using the GNU Autotools for building, yes?  
If so, try using CMake instead; ‘volk’ in particular compiles must more  
robustly using CMake. I don’t know that I’ve ever gotten volk to  
compile using GNU Autotools, but I’ve almost never had an issue when  
using CMake. Hope this helps! - MLD

Hi!  
I installed the gnuradio as described from  
[Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GR 3.5.1 & OSX](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2012-03/msg00419.html).  
Installation was successful but I have a stupid question.  
How to run gnuradio with rtl-sdr?
