[mmonka]

i try to install gnuradio on my mac (10.10.1)

Any idea how to solve this? Do you need more details for debugging?

[freelancer77]

I second that.

[Oxtay]

You might've already tried this, but according to this link, the solution might be to upgrate gcc:

brew upgrade gcc

[wyager]

Same here(?). Upgrading gcc did not help. I also upgraded to 10.10.2, and the message changed from

couldn't understand kern.osversion `14.0.0'

to

couldn't understand kern.osversion `14.1.0'

Here's the whole output, in case it's actually something else:

Im also having the same issue:

[propellerhat]

I, too, have this issue.

Firstly, I installed apple-gcc42 because it was listed as a dependency:

brew install --with-qt gnuradio
==> Installing gnuradio from titanous/homebrew-gnuradio
Error: No available formula for apple-gcc42 (dependency of gnuradio)
Searching formulae...
Searching taps...
homebrew/dupes/apple-gcc42

So I installed apple-gcc42 like it wanted:

brew install homebrew/dupes/apple-gcc42
Cloning into '/usr/local/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-dupes'...
remote: Counting objects: 1581, done.
...

Then the installation of gnuradio proceeded until I had the same error as mmonka:

brew install --with-qt gnuradio

This seems to be an error generated by the version of gcc it wanted. If I run the apple-gcc42 that was installed, I get the same error:

gcc-4.2
couldn't understand kern.osversion `14.1.0'
i686-apple-darwin11-gcc-4.2.1: no input files

Lines 49-51 in gnuradio.rb force compilation with gcc-4.2. I'm going to attempt to change that to gcc-4.9 and see if it works. I'll report back soon...

Edit

Okay, I removed the gcc-4.2 requirement. The error:

couldn't understand kern.osversion `14.1.0'

is not present anymore, but the build blows up nonetheless. Here's what I'm getting now (running brew with the -vd flags):

Going to update shortly once I try to fix this...

Edit 2

I tried using clang and gcc-4.9. Neither worked. I gave up and just used robotastic/hackrf/gnuradio, since that one actually works.

[vampjaz]

Any news? I have this problem too...
I tried uninstalling macports as suggested, and it broke the funcionality of ld, but I fixed that by setting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9. The error came back.
