Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Macports install where is gnuradio-core?

[Michael Dickens]

Hi Sharath - Ah; OK.  You are correct that the GNU Radio installer does not 
install Octave files (in MacPorts or any other place; it's OS agnostic).  But, 
they are present in "gr-utils/octave" if you download the source (release or 
git).  You don't need to reinstall GNU Radio from source or whatever, since 
these are just scripts used by Octave.  Further, since the GNU Radio source is 
already downloaded, you can just use it.  You can find those for GNU Radio in 
"/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gnuradio/".  Since you installed the 
release, you should have a file "gnuradio-3.7.4.tar.gz" ... so, you should be 
able to extract the files you want via
{{{
tar jxf /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gnuradio/gnuradio-3.7.4.tar.gz 
"*/gr-utils/octave"
}}}
Then, you'll probably want to move them to some place move appropriate; you can 
figure that part out :) - MLD
