Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP/gnuradio Issues in OS X

Hi Mary - So long as you use MacPorts for background dependencies,  
libusb1 and libusb-legacy (v0.1.12) can be installed at the same time  
& you can easily choose between them (different PKGCONFIG files).  Do  
note that "libusb-compat" does NOT work with FUSB/Darwin since GNU  
Radio's FUSB/LIBUSB code uses internals that are not in the 'compat'  
version (only the API is compat, not the internal implementation).  On  
my MacBook Pro (10.5.8, i386), GNU Radio compiles and executes just  
fine using libusb-legacy -- so, if you're having issues using it let  
me know & I'll see what I can do to help out.  That said, I've also  
used libusb1 with some success -- so, you might have some other issue  
(e.g., a bad USB cable). - MLD
