Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio via MacPorts Updated

[Michael Dickens]

Hi Ed - Good stuff; I'm glad someone else is trying these ports out.  A few 
thoughts:

(1) Can you send me, off list, the issues you're having getting ports installed 
as i386 or universal or whatever (ports & log files as indicated by port)?  
I'll see what I can do to fix them up.  For example, "real soon now" I'll be 
checking in py2X-numpy that is truly +universal, and should allow a host of 
other py2X ports to work correctly.  I can say that when you have native 
x86_64, running as i386 is known to have issues with various ports -- but some 
correctly handle the situation (e.g., qt4-mac will once I've updated it to 
4.7.0 next week), but it all really depends on who's maintaining the port & how 
busy s/he is.

(2) Regarding your actual issue:

The configure code for this is in config/grc_grc.m4:32-36.  You can check 
manually via:

$ python
>>> import sys
>>> sys.version.split()[0] >= "2.5"
[works]

$ python
>>> import Cheetah
>>> Cheetah.Version >= "2.0.0"
[works]

$ python
>>> import lxml.etree
>>> lxml.etree.LXML_VERSION >= (1, 3, 6, 0)
[fails]

$ python
>>> import gtk
>>> gtk.pygtk_version >= (2, 10, 0)
[fails]

so from the configure script, the first 2 will work while the latter 2 will 
not.  I'm guessing this has something to do with 32/64-bit issues, that the 
"import foo" will fail, not the version checking.  Please try the above & let 
me know what the actual errors are.  I'll then send you some other commands to 
further check out your install -- I need to get my install working (again) 
first, so that I can be of more help :)  I'm trying to get the +quartz variant 
working, since there now  seems to be a fix for the Pango issue everyone has 
encountered & that will allow for 64-bit GUIs; if I can't do that in a timely 
manner, I'll settle for +gtk & 32-bit.  I'm also trying full +universal, just 
to be complete.

Thanks again. - MLD
