I've got gnuradio-core and gr-wxgui running on Mac OS X 10.3.8 Panther.

I'm currently working on usrp --- I do not have it running yet but we need 
it.  I do not have any audio and do not forsee working on that (we don't need 
it here).

It takes some tinkering to get both the prerequisites and gnuradio itself 
to install.  The tweaks that are required change as the contents of CVS 
change.  I've been through it several times (with different versions from 
CVS) and I'm getting better at it as I learn more ins and outs of OS X.

Once it's installed, gnuradio-core works fine on OS X with no changes.
I had to make some minor changes to a few gr-wxgui python files to get 
them to work on OS X.

I've been promising for months to write up an installation guide for OS 
X, which I still plan to do when I come up with an organization and a 
procedure which is (mostly) repeatable.  I hope it won't be too long now, 
but yet another wrinkle cannot be avoided: I'm about to try installing on
OS X 10.4.2 Tiger (which uses gcc 4, what else has changed in the toolset 
I'm not yet sure).  If that works, I'll use that version from now on.

Any Mac users are welcome to contact me, but it's probably 
best to post questions to discuss-gnuradio.  I'll see them there.
