 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.

 {{{

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

 Any recommendations you may have would be greatly appreciated.

 Thank you!
