Re: How can I alter install script to bypass dead link causing install to fail on OS X10.6.8?

[Bob]

Hi, my memory of why I gave up on mac ports has been refreshed. I couldn't get boost to install, but it did work with tigerbrew.

Here is what happened after running sudo port install gnuradio:

Continue? [Y/n]: y

Hi Bob - I can't help you with the Brew issue ... so what I'm wondering is if you've looked into using MacPorts. It should be able to install GNU Radio 3.7 latest release on OSX 10.6.8 (and back to 10.4 PPC and forward to 10.15; I think it can't install on 10.4 Intel, but I'll admit that's a bit esoteric -- even more so than 10.4/5 PPC these days!). If you run into issues I can help you out! NP either way ... just offering an alternative. Good luck! - MLD

I am not an expert in OS X.  I likely am missing an easy work around for a gnuradio install missing file problem.

I tried brew edit gnuradio, but there is no mention in the that script of icu4c, which is what is failing when dependencies are being addressed after I run brew install gnuradio:

Downloading https://fossies.org/linux/misc/icu4c-55_1-src.tgz
#=#=-# #
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 410 Gone
Error: Failed to download resource "icu4c"
Download failed: https://fossies.org/linux/misc/icu4c-55_1-src.tgz

What is valid is "icu4c-65_1-src.tgz" at the same address (instead of 55_1).  How can I find the script and run it locally after editing it?  I also downloaded the icu4c-55 file from a valid link and installed it manually, but the brew install gnuradio process apparently does not see this installation and goes ahead with the outdated https request.

Is there a way I can alter my host file so that when it looks in the wrong place for the 55 version, I can point it to a new place for the 55 version?

This is an old iMac9,1 on 10.6.8 which i am trying also to upgrade to 10.15, but that is a slow process and in the meantime i want to see if I can complete gnuradio so that I can play with my new rtl-sdr dongle. 

I googled for this problem and did not find anything.

thanks...
