Dan,
Sorry, which application are you trying to run that's causing this problem?

Also, it might be easier to get started by using GNU Radio Companion.
Just launch gnuradio-companion and drop down an RTL source block and
connect it to a wxgui FFT sink (or QT GUI, but GRC defaults to using
WX, so that's probably easier). Then run the graph and see what you
get.
