Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Installing OOT Module on Mac

Hi Vamsi, hi Rich :)

There's two different directories you need to look at here:
1. the GRC block path. This is directory where GRC looks for the XML defining how a block looks like
2. the Pythonpath. This is the directory Python looks in when you do something like "import modulename".

Examine your $PYTHONPATH variable, and see if

export $PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:</path/to/folder/containing/installed/<modulename>.py

before starting your Python Flowgraph (ie. before starting GRC from the same shell) helps.

Best regards,
Marcus

Hello,

I'm using GNURadio 3.7.8 installed from MacPorts on a MacBook Air.

I have tried to create a custom module on my MacBook Air using gr_modtool.

I was able to write, compile and build the code.

After this I edited the XML file for accessing on gnuradio-companion.

But the block didn't show up on gnuradio-companion.

so I have set the following in .bash_profile

export GRC_BLOCKS_PATH="<required folder>"

and I was able to see the newly generated block.

But when I run the flowgraph I get the following error.

ImportError: No module named <module name>

In linux there is sudo ldconfig command, but the command doesn't exist on Mac

So after 

"sudo make install"

Is there anything else to do for mac?

Thanks

Vamsi and Rich
