ChoJin - I'm glad to hear you have GNU Radio installed and running on  
Leopard.  Here is some further information that you might have found  
useful; and from which others might benefit.

I should have mentioned, but thought it was obvious, that this SVN  
branch requires the "usual" sequence for compilation of the trunk -  
which is slightly different than a numbered release -, typically:

sh bootstrap
./configure
make
make check
sudo make install

If you're using just MacPorts, then the first line needs to be  
changed to (something like):

sed -e 'address@hidden@address@hidden' bootstrap > bootstrap_mp
sh bootstrap_mp

because 'GNU libtool' conflicts with 'Apple libtool', and is thus  
renamed to 'glibtool' (and so forth for related executables).  This  
sequence should generate the 'ltmain.sh' file and all of the other  
files / links needed to make, check, and install this branch.

If you're using MacPorts then all of the dependencies for GNU Radio  
can be installed easily:

pkgconfig, automake, swig, libusb, guile, numpy, cppunit, fftw-3- 
single, wxpython, doxygen, boost, subversion, and sdcc

If you're using an Intel-Mac, then follow the instructions found on  
the GNU Radio Wiki page for MacInstall < http://www.gnuradio.org/trac/ 
wiki/MacInstall >, to get the correct version of SDCC.

I highly recommend using a single source for all of the background  
dependencies, to avoid confusion (what is installed where and by  
whom) and improve ease of updating to more recent versions.
