Hi Michael,

Longer answer: So long as you can do "import wx" from Python, then grc should work with whatever display is provided (whether gtk or cocoa / aqua).  The wx API hides the actual GUI being used, at least to a high degree.

There is a wxPython-2.8.11 binary that you can download from the following link 

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-2.8.11.0-universal-py2.6.dmg

This is for a 32-bit carbon framework. 

I still haven't managed to get 64-bit cocoa framework building, although some of the wxPython developer have said that they have done so. 

So, back to the discussion, now I have wxPython for carbon installed and import wx works, and it reports the correct version:

$ python

>>> import wx

>>> wx.VERSION_STRING

'2.8.11.0'

>>> exit()

$ 

I've still do to import some more dependent libraries (cheetah, lxml) and see if grc will get built. 

This is what is looks like at the moment, when I run gnuradio ./configure 

<snip>

checking for xdg-mime... false

checking for Python >= 2.5... yes

checking for Python Cheetah templates >= 2.0.0... no

checking for Python lxml wrappers >= 1.3.6... no

checking for Python gtk wrappers >= 2.10.0... no

Not building component grc.
