[Discuss-gnuradio] "ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 1: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: wrong type" on OS X 10.8.2 in GL.glNewList

[Gian Luca Decurtins]

Hi all

I've had success compiling gnuradio from source on OS X 10.8.2[1].
Now I'm facing the issue mentioned in the subject.
There is already an open bug @ 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3526361&group_id=5988&atid=105988

It's the same with my installation, but I'm using OS X 10.8.2 and not 
10.7.3.

Without this bug being fixed I wont be able to run the WX GUI FFT Sink 
and WX GUI Waterfall Sink which I would like to use. I did also try some 
gnuradio-examples from OZ9AEC which did also raise the same error.

As I'm a Python beginner I do not know where to start fixing this 
issue. Can anyone tell me where to look at? As far as I know the issue 
is that the return value of GL.glNewList is not the same on all 
operating systems.

[1] I had to use "cmake .. -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/opt/local/bin/python
-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7
-DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/libpython2.7.dylib"
(thanks to Michael Dickens) and I did create a symlink from /usr/local 
to /opt/local.
