Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio on OS X 10.8.1: 'make test' does fail on many tests

Hi Gian - You are probable encountering the PYTHON issue many of us OSX users 
have had as well.  If you do "grep PYTHON CMakeCache.txt" in the top-level 
build directory, you should see included the following variables, set to 
something:

PYTHON_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=
PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=
PYTHON_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=

These 3 variables need to refer to the same Python install.  For example, I'm 
using Python 2.7 from MacPorts set specifically, and so I get back:

PYTHON_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/opt/local/bin/python
PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7
PYTHON_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/libpython2.7.dylib

If yours do not match up, then you can change that behavior by setting them on 
the cmake command line; for example, what I use is (watching wrap):

cmake .. -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/opt/local/bin/python 
-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7
 
-DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/libpython2.7.dylib

If this doesn't help, then email me off-list and I'll help you debug the issue.
