Comment (by michaelld@…):

 Replying to [comment:9 iibov@…]:
 > I'm also trying to install gqrx (OS X 10.5.8/PowerPC) and py27-scipy is
 failing. I did try the suggested above (`sudo port clean gnuradio/sudo
 port install gnuradio -universal`), however that didn't help. I've
 attached the log to the ticket. Let me know if anything else might be
 helpful.

 OK; well, first off PowerPC is not longer officially supported. Nor is
 10.5.8. You might be able to get GNU Radio installed and working; maybe
 not too; no promises!

 The issue here is that py27-scipy +gfortran uses the new gcc5 for Fortran,
 and this does not seem to recognize that the host computer is a PowerPC;
 it is trying to build as x86_64 for some reason. Here's my recommendation:
 {{{
 sudo port clean py27-scipy
 sudo port install py27-scipy +gcc47
 }}}
 Try using an older compiler that might provided better support for
 PowerPC. I've no idea if the above will work, but it's worth a try. It
 might be that the new SciPy just does not work with PowerPC systems; they
 are pretty old, after all -- nothing personal, just being real here.
