Hey, I just tried to setup Gnuradio (3.7.5) with my RTL2832U DVB-T  
dongle.

1. First I installed Gnuradio via “sudo zypper install gnuradio”.  
Gnuradio-Companion starts and everything seems to work fine.

2. Then I installed the rtl-sdr driver as described on Osmocom’s  
Website. “rtl\_test -t” works as well.

3. Finally I installed gr-osmosdr and opened Gnuradio-Companion but  
there is no Source field where I can select my RTL2832 dongle…

So does anyone know what I did wrong? Is it because of my operation  
system: the new OpenSuse 13.2? Or is there an error in the cmake process  
of gr-osmosdr (I put the output at the end of the post)?

It would be great if someone could help me.  
Thanks!  
Marius
