| Summary: | Unable to install Gnuradio → gnuradio: gnuradio-runtime.conf already exists and does not belong to a registered port |
The relevant error in the log appears to be:
:error:activate Failed to activate gnuradio: Image error: /opt/local/etc/gnuradio/conf.d/gnuradio-runtime.conf already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port gnuradio. Use 'port -f activate gnuradio' to force the activation.
Do you know why this file already exists?
Is this a configuration file that users are intended to edit?

This file is a "default" configuration file. You can edit it in place or copy it to a local location and edit it there to specify runtime preferences. I'd recommend just removing that file then trying the install again; hopefully this time it will install cleanly. If any other such files are found inside /opt/local for when activating GNU Radio, I'd think you can safely remove them.

FYI this is not an issue with MacPorts or the GNU Radio port itself. This is an issue with your specific install. We can't say why; stuff happens! I'm closing this issue as "worksforme" since it does. I regularly rebuild and install GR with different patches to test them, and MacPorts makes this simple and easy; I almost never have issues with stray files, and when I do I can safely say I know it's because I installed something into /opt/local outside of MacPorts & hence it is my "fault".
