Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio (etc) via MacPorts Update

Hi Peter - I sent the attached email to the GR discussion list this morning 
(not to you, assuming you were on the GR list since you posted to it); 
according to the list archives, it did go out < 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2013-07/msg00110.html >.  
Maybe you did not receive it yet?  My advice: do "sudo port install gnuradio 
+full" to get everything including the Python (via SWIG) interface.  It will 
likely take a while to install, but that should work. - MLD

Hi Peter - When I hear of the error "No module named gnuradio", I immediately 
wonder if the GNU Radio related ports were installed using the +swig variant.  
I prefer to use +full myself, to get everything that GNU Radio can do.  If you 
want just Python and GRC, there are variants for those.  If you did not install 
using one of these variants, just reinstall with the new variants -- MacPorts 
will handle the rest (deactivating the current install and so forth).  You can 
tell what is installed via "port installed".  If this does not solve the 
problem, email me off-list and I'll work with you to get it all working. - MLD
