gnuradio: Cheetah templates required to build VOLK

[mcquiggi (Kevin McQuiggin)]

Hi All:

I have OS X 10.8.2.

I have run:

   sudo port selfupdate
   sudo port upgrade outdated

A build of the latest version of gnuradio (3.6.2) fails with the messages:

Kevins-MacBook-Air:~ mcquiggi$ sudo port install gnuradio

After seeing this I installed the port "cheetah", but I see that the current ports tree only has version 1.8 in it; the error message says the port is looking for cheetah version >=2.0.

My installed cheetah, note that it is not listed as "outdated":

Any assistance will be appreciated.

The port called "cheetah" provides a web server called "cheetah"; that's not what gnuradio needs; you can uninstall it. Rather, gnuradio needs the python module called "cheetah", which is a template engine, and is in the port "py${python.version}-cheetah". The gnuradio port already adds a dependency on py${python.version}-cheetah, but only when both the grc variant and the python${python.version} variant are selected. Apparently that's not enough.

Note also that "port list" doesn't do what you think it does.

Hi:

Sorry to be problematic!

I installed py27-cheetah, but unfortunately it's still a "no go":

Kevins-MacBook-Air:~ mcquiggi$ sudo port installed | grep -i cheetah
  py26-cheetah @2.4.4_1 (active)
  py27-cheetah @2.4.4_1 (active)
Kevins-MacBook-Air:~ mcquiggi$ 

and

Yes it does! I was using "port list" to list the current version of cheetah available in Macports 2.1.2, NOT to list the version on my machine. I can see that by "port installed".

I believe this is correct, I checked the FAQ!

[mcquiggi (Kevin McQuiggin)]

Hi All:

Is there any further info or anything I can provide to help with resolution of this ticket?

I would really love to get gnuradio running natively under Mac OSX. I am trying to make do with running it under Parallels/Ubuntu but this is not optimal as the real time response gets skewed due to the virtualization.

Please let me know if further log files etc would help.

Kevin

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

It's on my queue for Monday to look into this dependency while I'm upgrading gnuradio-devel and gnuradio-next. I didn't think VOLK used Python at all, but maybe I'm mistaken. This particular cheetah, is provided by pt-cheetah (or py27-cheetah, etc), so if you tried "sudo port install gnuradio +grc +python27" I think the install will work as a temporary measure. I think the equivalent "port" command to what it looks like you had before is "sudo port install +full +python27".

[mcquiggi (Kevin McQuiggin)]

Thanks, the package built and installed with no apparent problems, but:

Kevins-MacBook-Air:~ mcquiggi$ gnuradio-companion
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/local/bin/gnuradio-companion", line 21, in <module>
    import pygtk
ImportError: No module named pygtk
Kevins-MacBook-Air:~ mcquiggi$ 

Should the import specify py-gtk (or perhaps py-gtk2, as there is a port with that name)??

I appreciate your work on this (obviously complicated) port!

Kevin

[mcquiggi (Kevin McQuiggin)]

In fact I found the pygtk module at

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/

but python isn't finding it. Some python path or environment variable?

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

What do the following return for you:

which python
ls -l /opt/local/bin/python*

I'm betting that you're using the built-in Python from OSX 10.8, and not that provided by MacPorts. If this is the case, then I recommend you select the MacPorts version via:

sudo port select python python27

And then "which python" should return "/opt/local/bin/python", and -then- "gnuradio-companion" should work correctly.

[mcquiggi (Kevin McQuiggin)]

Thanks, "which python" indeed indicated the OSX stock version. The "sudo port select ..." fixed that.

Looks like we are getting closer, but still a number of errors. "Could not open display" - perhaps I should not be invoking this from the command line, rather within X or something? Command line works fine in Linux/Ubuntu.

I see that I had three versions installed, @3.6.2_0; @3.6.2_0+grc+python27, and @3.6.2_0+python26. The latter was the one marked as "active".

I will try to figure this out!

Back to you shortly with results.

[mcquiggi (Kevin McQuiggin)]

Okay, still no go but here is what I did:

I uninstalled gnuradio. I cleaned and then reinstalled "gnuradio +grc +python27".

Still no go. So, I uninstalled gnuradio again; then uninstalled all the old 3.3.0 gnuradio-* sub-packages. These were all listed with +python26. Got rid of everything inactive.

I confirmed that no more "gnuradio" stuff was left through "sudo port installed | grep -i gnuradio". It is all gone.

I am now reinstalling gnuradio +grc +python27.

I will advise as to how this goes.

Looks like I have to get these sub-packages installed as well? Do I just choose the particular ones I need, or must they all be installed?

Thanks for the help, hope I am helping as well (from a user's perspective)!!

You do not need the GNU Radio component ports; they should not really install anything anyway. All you need is "gnuradio" or "gnuradio-devel" or "gnuradio-next"; I generally recommend the -devel version since it includes bug fixes from the current release, but the choice is yours. I include -next since some developers are into that branch instead, to test their already-existing GR scripts out with what is expected to be the next major release.

GRC was renamed "gnuradio-companion" as an executable (Python script) a couple years ago. Likewise, there is no "gnuradio" executable.

If I were you, I'd go back to the version with the GTK issues and see if that one can be made to work. Basically: Uninstall any "gnuradio" port that's installed right now (force uninstall it). Then do "sudo port install gnuradio +full +python27" and see if "gnuradio-companion" then works. If not, then please create a new ticket with that specific issue as this ticket's issue has been resolved (I'll check in the changes later today).

[mcquiggi (Kevin McQuiggin)]

Thanks. +full is not recognized:

Kevins-MacBook-Air:~ mcquiggi$ sudo port -f uninstall gnuradio
Kevins-MacBook-Air:~ mcquiggi$ sudo port installed | grep gnu
Kevins-MacBook-Air:~ mcquiggi$ sudo port install gnuradio +full +python27
Error: Unable to open port: Error evaluating variants
Kevins-MacBook-Air:~ mcquiggi$ 

[mcquiggi (Kevin McQuiggin)]

Interestingly, "sudo port variants gnuradio" does show a "full" variant:

Kevins-MacBook-Air:~ mcquiggi$ sudo port variants gnuradio
gnuradio has the variants:
   debug: Enable debug binaries
   docs: Install GNU Radio documentation
   full: Enable all variants except python
     * requires docs grc jack portaudio qtgui sdl swig uhd volk wavelet wxgui
   grc: Install GNU Radio Companion
   jack: Install GNU Radio with support for JACK audio
   orc: Install GNU Radio Volk with support for ORC
   portaudio: Install GNU Radio with support for portaudio audio
   python26: Build GNU Radio using Python 2.6
     * conflicts with python27
   python27: Build GNU Radio using Python 2.7
     * conflicts with python26
   qtgui: Install GNU Radio with support for Qt GUI
   sdl: Install GNU Radio with support for SDL-based video
   swig: Install GNU Radio with support for SWIG-base Python bindings
   uhd: Install GNU Radio with support for UHD
   universal: Build for multiple architectures
   wavelet: Install GNU Radio Wavelet component
   wxgui: Install GNU Radio with support for Wx GUI

I just checked in r100089, which fixes the issue of this ticket; so, I'm closing this ticket as fixed.

I'm not sure what's going on with your install. I'd recommend doing:

sudo port clean gnuradio
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install gnuradio +full

and see if that works. The variant +python27 is now the default as of this revision. If this does not work, please open a new ticket and we'll work on it there.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

There's a circular dependency in the variants somewhere. Even port -d info gnuradio +full +python27 fails.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Actually, it was that +full required +volk, which doesn't exist; this is #37150.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

After r37150, the gnuradio ports now work again for me. There are still some dependency issues I haven't worked out, but they are getting better and seem to work for many users (which is better than the original Portfile :).
