Port install gnuradio fatal error on open MacOS

[Hook12aaa]

Hi,

I typed the following command into terminal to install gnuradio : "sudo port install gnuradio". To replicate this error use the current version of macos with the current version of macport. Do the command and then type "gnuradio-companion ".

[marcusmueller]

could you add what gnuradio-config-info --version says about your machine?

[Hook12aaa]

Sure @marcusmueller it returned '3.8.2.0'

[nirmita123]

I got the same error on the same gnuradio version. @Hook12aaa were you able to solve the problem?

[Hook12aaa]

Nope and no one responded to my thread. I haven't been able to use the program at all

[alvarolopez12]

Any update for this??

[nirmita123]

I followed the link mentioned below and it worked fine for me. https://aaronscher.com/wireless_com_SDR/MacOSX_install_gnu_radio.html

[rgov]

The Homebrew formula works. I've been testing with it lately. There is a known crash in Cairo, a dependency, on Big Sur, but a fix is forthcoming.

Gdk.Screen.get_default() returns none

[gefa]

@Hook12aaa I can reproduce this exact error. However, if I launch gnuradio-companion from: Applications folder -> MacPorts -> GNURadio, then it works fine.

[nickoe]

This seems to be a packaging issue and not gnuradio itself. Possibly the thing in whatever is mentioned in #3893 (comment) sets some environment variables which are not set in the system shell.

[JimByers]

Getting these error when trying to use GNU Companion from terminal
Launching from MacPorts folder does not work either

MacOS 11.1
GNU version 3.8.2.0
Installations via MacPorts 2.6.4

Any help will be appreciated

I have had the same error, and have found what caused it in my case. Note the error starts with "No such schema..." and ends with the "TypeError" as shown in the previous comment.

I tried launching from the command line in iTerm2. I suspected an X problem. XQuartz was not running. Next I ran xeyes and it failed because there was no display. I then started XQuartx, tested xeyes again, which worked, so then started gnuradio-companion again - this time it worked.

In short, the problem was because there was no X server running, and XQuartz needed to be started manually.

My environment, for reference:
macOS Big Sur 11.5.1
XQuartz 2.8.1
iTerm2 3.4.8
Port 2.7.1

@rixon Great summary! I've moved to using default variants with MacPorts of -x11 +no_x11 +quartz and so I don't need X11 for running GRC. Works nicely! For folks using MacPorts who just want it for GNU Radio, I highly recommend using these variants by default. I do -not- recommend setting +python38 nor +gcc11 or the equivalent; those generally work, but make it very difficult to update to newer / different Python or GCC.

I'm closing this issue since it's not directly a GR one, and there is good info on how to deal with it. If anyone objects, please reopen and post relevant info.
