Issue installing GQRX SDR software on my Macbook

[dauererj]

Hello - I recently became interested in Software Defined Radios. I was told GQRX was an excellent tool for running SDRs on a Mac. My experience when installing software is to goto the App Store. When I went to the GQRX website, they recommended using MacPorts.

I installed GQRX and it appeared to successfully run, however, it was nowhere to be found on my computer. As a result, I did what was recommended and ran:

sudo port clean GQRX

Which appeared to work.

When I tried to reinstall GQRX, I'm now getting an error message partway through the installation. Here's the text from terminal.

xorg-libXrandr xorg-libXtst xorg-libxkbfile zmq

Error: Follow ​https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe there is a bug. Error: Processing of port gqrx failed

I did not get this error when I first ran the install.

Any recommendations you may have would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
