fails due to missing dvips

see if you have texlive-basic installed; if not, try installing it sudo port -v install texlive-basic and then try your installation of gnuradio again again.

[mksta1000]

I installed texlive-basic, then cleaned and attempted to install gnuradio. Gave the same error message:

still seems to be something wrong with the documentation generation process. Exactly what is happening is not clear to me. Some things are segfaulting, and that certainly shouldn't happen.

While this is getting sorted out, would you like to try without the included documentation? Might get you up and running while the rest can be worked on.

sudo port -v install gnuradio -docs

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

In the future, please use WikiFormatting and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers gnuradio), if any.

[kencu (Ken)]

I see there were other tickets with doxygen segfaulting 53242 that have been fixed recently. Have you done a port selfupdate recently?

[mksta1000]

gnuradio built successfully when documentation was disabled. I am not able to use the rsync protocol to update the macports source code- I use the https mirror for the daily tarball of portfiles. Is there a way to get the macports source to update without using rsync?

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Is this ticket's issue still a problem? By now, the https mirror for the daily tarball of portfiles should be updated with the doxygen & GR fixes -- those were incorporated 3-4 over the past weekend.

Not sure how you do a "selfupdate" in this case ... I think you have to re-do the PortIndex, which is easy enough to do manually if there is no other good way:

cd $(port dir gnuradio)/../..
sudo portindex

[mksta1000]

The program is now running for me, but I'm not sure if it was because I disabled documentation gen process or not.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

What does "port installed | grep gnuradio" return for you?

[mksta1000]

$ port installed | grep gnuradio
  gnuradio @3.7.10.1_1+grc+jack+portaudio+qtgui+sdl+swig+uhd+wavelet+wxgui
  gnuradio @3.7.10.1_2+grc+jack+portaudio+qtgui+sdl+swig+uhd+wavelet+wxgui (active)

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

OK. So the GR install is without +docs. Not sure if you care. I almost never use +docs anyway, but some people do & some folks just want +docs to work since it is the default. You can see if things are fixed via:

sudo port install gnuradio

which if successful will install with +docs.

[mksta1000]

Seems to work:

$ sudo port install gnuradio

Thanks!

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Great! Thanks for reporting back. I'm closing this ticket as 'fixed'. Cheers!
