I'm not sure what the exact issue is, but this should be a way around it ... try:

sudo port clean uhd
sudo port -s install uhd

and, then if that works, then go back to your original GNU Radio install command.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Before you do the above, just for the sake of it, would you please attach the log file as noted in the error message? The file is listed as /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_science_uhd/uhd/main.log . Here's what I'd recommend you do:

cp /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_science_uhd/uhd/main.log ~/Desktop/uhd-log.txt
bzip2 ~/Desktop/uhd-log.txt

and, then attach the file ~/Desktop/uhd-log.txt.bz2.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Thx & Yes I get you've tried this a few times. Try with the "-s" to build it from source instead of trying to download the pre-compiled binary.

I copy and pasted the above and had the same issues which were:
