[Discuss-gnuradio] Mac OS X Build problem

[Qi Chen]

Hi all,

I have been trying to install the latest stable release (v3.1) on  
Intel-Mac with Mac OS X(10.4.11). I have tried to follow both Jon  
Jacky and Michael Dickens's build guide, I had different problems.
Anyways, the problems can be concluded as follows:
1. Since GNURadio 3.1 requires numpy instead of old Numeric, hence I  
either have to use python 2.4 installed by macports or I have to make  
numpy work on python2.4 (I failed to do so, not sure why).
2. I tried to use python 2.4 (import numpy no problem), this is the  
command I used to build:

        setenv GR /opt/local
        ./bootstrap
	./configure --prefix=$GR --with-pythondir=$GR/lib/python2.4/site- 
packages
        make
        sudo make insall

PYTHONPATH=/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages

3. When I tried to use mac build-in python (2.3.5), with numpy  
installed the error message I got while running some python script:

        Traceback (most recent call last):
          File "sounder_tx.py", line 23, in ?
            from gnuradio import gr, usrp, eng_notation
	  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gnuradio/usrp.py",

            from gnuradio import gru

          File "<string>", line 1, in ?

            import numpy
	  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/

            import ma
	  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ 
python2.3/site-packages/numpy/ma/__init__.py", line 14, in ?
            import core
	  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ 
python2.3/site-packages/numpy/ma/core.py", line 113, in ?
	    max_filler.update([(k,-numpy.inf) for k in [numpy.float32,  
numpy.float64]])
        AttributeError: keys

I doubt this is the problem of numpy. I did notice that numpy  
requires python2.4 or higher, I am not sure if there is a work around  
or not. Any hint would be appreciated.

Am I missing something somewhere?

Thanks in advance.
