[Discuss-gnuradio] gr-osmosdr - No RTL2832 Source Block

[spam9642]

Hi List,

I've recently been trying to get gnuradio-3.6.5 to talk to my RTL2832-based
tuner dongle.  I installed gr-osmosdr, and all of the blocks seem to load
fine in gnuradio-companion.  Except for one, the rtl2832 source block. 
Every time I run some code that uses osmosdr.source, I end up with this
traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./rtl_flex_noX.py", line 123, in <module>
    tb = app_top_block(options, queue)
  File "./rtl_flex_noX.py", line 45, in __init__
    self.u = osmosdr.source( args="%s"%(options.device) )
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'source'

I tried installing gr-baz (as per this post on Reddit: 
http://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/sn4t2/how_does_one_get_rtl_as_source_in_gnu/)
<http://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/sn4t2/how_does_one_get_rtl_as_source_in_gnu/>
  
and I had zero luck whatsoever trying to get it to work.  I did some further
digging regarding what functions were available in osmosdr using
dir(osmosdr) in Python and got this:

['SwigPyIterator', 'SwigPyIterator_swigregister', '_RTLD_GLOBAL',
'__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__',
'__path__', '_dlopenflags', 'device', 'device_find', 'device_swigregister',
'device_t', 'device_t_swigregister', 'devices_t', 'devices_t_swigregister',
'meta_range_t', 'meta_range_t_swigregister', 'osmosdr_sink_c_sptr',
'osmosdr_sink_c_sptr_swigregister', 'osmosdr_source_c_sptr',
'osmosdr_source_c_sptr_swigregister', 'osmosdr_swig', 'range_t',
'range_t_swigregister', 'range_vector_t', 'range_vector_t_swigregister',
'sink_c', 'source_c', 'string_string_dict_t',
'string_string_dict_t_swigregister', 'string_vector_t',
'string_vector_t_swigregister', 'sys']

Oddly enough there was a function called source_c, but no function called
source.  When I make gr-osmosdr with cmake, these are the enabled and
disabled components:

-- ######################################################
-- # gr-osmosdr enabled components                         
-- ######################################################
--   * Python support
--   * sysmocom OsmoSDR
--   * IQ File Source
--   * Osmocom RTLSDR
--   * RTLSDR TCP Client
--   * RFSPACE Receivers
-- 
-- ######################################################
-- # gr-osmosdr disabled components                        
-- ######################################################
--   * Osmocom IQ Imbalance Correction
--   * FUNcube Dongle
--   * FUNcube Dongle Pro+
--   * Ettus USRP Devices
--   * Osmocom MiriSDR
--   * HackRF Jawbreaker
--   * nuand bladeRF
--   * AIRSPY Receiver

Is osmosdr.source() in one of the disabled components? If so, what
dependencies do I need to install to get that component to work?  I can't
seem to find any straightforward information as to what dependencies I need
to get all the components to work.

I've been working on this for the past week and I have had little luck, so
any help will be greatly appreciated :)
