gnuradio @3.7.2.1 installation fails to complete

[guycole@…]

Hello, I am attempting to install gnuradio on OS X 10.8.5 and XCode 5.0.2

Installation runs and then stops without complaint or completion. I notice there are many dot/doxygen processes started but not doing any work.

The last few lines are below and I will attach the installation log.

make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_science_gnuradio/gnuradio/work/build'
/opt/local/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_report /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_science_gnuradio/gnuradio/work/build/CMakeFiles 
[100%] Built target _trellis_swig

Please advise how I might get gnuradio to complete installation. Thank you.

Trac requires complete email addresses.

Can you try the following and see if you get the same results:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port -f deactivate gnuradio
sudo port install gnuradio-devel

I saw this for a while with the devel branch, but it seems to have gone away in my testing, maybe in the last week. I had thought it was just an oddity of my system, but maybe it's more than that.

[guycole@…]

I get the same behavior w/gnuradio-devel - the build just completed _trellis_swig, many dot/doxygen processes and no work. I will try to attach the log.

installation log from gnuradio-devel

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Can you try the following:

sudo port clean gnuradio gnuradio-devel
sudo port -f uninstall `port installed | grep gnuradio-devel | sed -e "s@(active)@@g"`
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install gnuradio-devel

and see if that works. The current gnuradio ports have a few issues I'm working on right now, and the above is one way around them.

Replying to michaelld@…:

Thank you for trying to solve my problem. I have made another attempt w/a fresh install of gnuradio-devel but there was no improvement (i.e. complete building trellis and then hang w/many dot/doxygen processes).

Please let me know if there is anything else I could try.

sudo port clean gnuradio gnuradio-devel

What I'm wondering is why the dot/doxygen issues have disappeared for me, but not for you. I'm running the same basic setup as you (10.8.5, Xcode 5.0.2); I ams using MacPorts from SVN trunk, which might be different than you. Otherwise, I'd guess we're about the same. Strange. I will think more and see what else comes to mind.

[guycole@…]

Replying to michaelld@…: Unsure if this is relevant, I uninstalled macports and reinstalled over the weekend (so everything I have should be latest version).

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Did you install MacPorts from source or use a pre-built pkg binary? If from source, was is the tarball or SVN trunk? I'm not sure how relevant these are; I'm mostly being thorough / clear.

Everything (so far) from packages.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I think it will go away shortly of its own accord -- I'm guessing this has to do with the version of MacPorts being used, but I can't say for sure; so, maybe at the next MacPorts release?

Anyway, here's what I did to get around this issue, when I had it.

sudo port clean gnuradio gnruadio-devel
sudo port install gnuradio

and, then after a while, ^C (control-C; kill) the process. The dot/doxygen processes will slowly die off on their own. Next (at any time) do:

sudo port install gnuradio

again and this time it should complete. If so, try out GNU Radio to make sure things work. I usually try the following:

/opt/local/share/gnuradio/examples/audio/dial_tone.py

and if that produces a "dial tone", then do:

cp /opt/local/share/gnuradio/examples/audio/dial_tone.grc ~/Desktop
gnuradio-companion ~/Desktop/dial_tone.grc

and then click the gears ("Execute The Flow Graph") to verify that that works too.

I am using the same configuration OS X 10.8.5 , Xcode 5.0.2 , Macports 2.2.1 , gnuradio 3.7.2.1

it installs normally using macports but when I try /opt/local/share/gnuradio/examples/audio/dial_tone.py I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

@melnakeeb: You have a different problem than this ticket's; you should have opened a new ticket. That said ... can you try the following:

sudo port -f deactivate `port installed | grep gnuradio | sed -e "s@(active)@@g"`
sudo port install gnuradio

and then try running the dial_tone.py example again. Hopefully it will work this time.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Any word on whether this is still an issue? I had this issue for a while; doing a "selfupdate" fixed it without me having to do anything else.

[guycole@…]

Yes, I still have the same problem for gnuradio and gnuradio devel.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

OK; can you try the following again:

sudo port clean gnuradio gnuradio-devel
sudo port -f uninstall `port installed | grep gnuradio | sed -e "s@(active)@@g"`
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port -k install gnuradio

and see if that works. If so, try running the dial tone example again:

/opt/local/share/gnuradio/examples/audio/dial_tone.py

If either the install or the dial_tone fails, can you do the following:

cp `port logfile gnuradio` ~/Desktop/gr_log.txt
bzip2 ~/Desktop/gr_log.txt

and then attach the compressed logfile to this ticket.

I tried the commands you suggest but the build still hangs after building trellis_swig leaving many dot/doxygen processes. I have attached main.log.gz, thanks for looking.

I recently pushed the 3.7.3 release and I'm wondering if this helps you. Can you try the following (slight variation on the usual):

sudo port clean gnuradio gnuradio-devel
sudo port -f uninstall `port installed | grep gnuradio | sed -e "s@(active)@@g"`
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port -k install gnuradio use_parallel_build=no

and see if it works? Depending on your CPU / memory, this can take quite a while -- on my 2012 MacBook Pro it takes ~10 minutes (with a fast SSD) but on my 2010 MacBook Pro it takes more like 45 minutes (with a 7200 rpm hard drive) ... so, be patient. Maybe let it go overnight.

Hello. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that (just this week) I had time to update to OSX 10.9.2 so I no longer have a 10.8.5 environment. The good news is that I was able to compile and use gnuradio. Sorry I wasn't able to verify your fix on 10.8.5 but at least now I am able to enjoy your hard work on the port. Thank you for helping.

OK; well, that's good news all around for me if GNU Radio now works for you! Thanks for reporting back, and have fun with GNU Radio.
