Hi Michael, I didn't realize rtl-sdr was in macports, so I installed both of them from source. It should be fine from macports though as long as it doesn't get too old compared to gr-osmosdr. In order to have gr-osmosdr installed in /opt/local I use: $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/local .. Be sure to uninstall the other first - having multiple copies of the same library installed is very bad. After installing rtl-sdr and gr-osmosdr I could compile gqrx but to make it run I had to copy the rtl-sdr and gr-osmosdr libraries to the same directory where gqrx.app was located. I suppose there is something incorrect with the linker commands - I didn't have time to look at it. I only installed the minimal gnuradio whithout python and gnuradio-companion. You probably need to add a path to the grc configuration (I believe it's explained in the wiki).
