Thank you for reading this.

I’m still unable to compile gr-osmosdr and a Gpoogle search shows that  
others have had to same problem but I haven’t found any solutions.

Following instructions I think I have captured signals from a local FM  
radio station. How do I play this captured file? I haven’t compiled  
gnuradio yet because I want to include gr-osmosdr.

Phil,

I think you misunderstand. You must have GNU Radio installed prior to  
compiling gr-osmosdr as gr-osmosdr uses the GNU Radio API.

Thank you Alex, I’m finding Gnuradio, and the way that it operates, a  
difficult subject to grasp.
