ChoJin - There are really only 2 changes to the "usual" install of  
GNU Radio on OSX 10.5 Leopard that one needs to know right now, when  
trying to do this using MacPorts 1.6.0:

1) python25, as currently provided by MacPorts, will work, just  
barely, and only for non-GUI scripts.  To correct this (major) issue,  
following the instructions found in

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11267#comment:21

Make sure to "install python25 +framework", as in the example at the  
end; GNU Radio's GUI requires the framework install for correct  
functionality.  After doing this, py25-wxpython should build without  
any issues.  If it does, tell me off list and we can work on this  
issue separately.  Make sure (re)install py25-numpy, and whatever  
else py25-YYY you are using or need.

2) Leopard / Darwin 9 changes the way threads work enough that the  
fast-USB code for GNU Radio needed to be updated.  These updates are  
not yet in the SVN trunk.  In the mean time, use SVN and the  
following branch:

I hope to these changes integrated with the SVN trunk soon, and would  
appreciate your (and other OSX 10.4 and/or 10.5 users) feedback as to  
if they work for you or not.  Good luck! - MLD
