gnuradio: Build failure on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

[jht15]

I follow the guide on ​https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/MacInstall .

I input

sudo port install gnuradio

in the terminal, and error occurs

In the future, please fill in the Port field and add the port maintainer(s) to Cc (port info --maintainers gnuradio), if any.

OK so the error is this:

I don't know what /usr/local/include/Block.h is for, but it's not a good header to have around if it causes issues with system headers.

I would strongly advise you to remove whatever is in /usr/local, clean the GNU Radio build, and start from scratch. If you cannot remove whatever is in /usr/local, move it out of the way temporarily while you install GNU Radio.

Great; thanks for reporting back! I'm closing this as "works for me" since it does ;)
