Can't run a diagram with the osmocom source

[tomszr-hid]

Stright after installation GNU Radio is working but I'm not able to start any diagram with the osmocom Source. I'm getting a trace:

I have same problem, hope someone will find solution.

Same here.

This is my first time experimenting with GNURadio and I ran into this problem as well. I believe that the problem is that _osmosdr_swig.so references Python twice and the path to the second reference doesn't exist. That can be seen with the following command:

$ otool -L /Applications/GNURadio.app/Contents/MacOS/usr/share/gnuradio/python/site-packages/osmosdr/_osmosdr_swig.so

which gives:

/Applications/GNURadio.app/Contents/MacOS/usr/share/gnuradio/python/site-packages/osmosdr/_osmosdr_swig.so:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/Python (compatibility version 3.7.0, current version 3.7.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1281.0.0)
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 1670.10.0)
/Applications/GNURadio.app/Contents/MacOS/usr/lib/libgnuradio-osmosdr.0.2.0.dylib (compatibility version 0.2.0, current version 0.2.0)
/usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/Python (compatibility version 3.7.0, current version 3.7.0)
...

I was able to fix the problem by running this command which changes the second Python reference in _osmosdr_swig.so to the correct one:

$ install_name_tool -change /usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/Python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/Python /Applications/GNURadio.app/Contents/MacOS/usr/share/gnuradio/python/site-packages/osmosdr/_osmosdr_swig.so

I didn't try to look into why the library has that second reference but I suspect it has something to do with Python 3.7 having been installed on the build machine via brew at some point.

Thanks @RocketManRC - This worked a treat. Down side is that it needs to install Xcode; but, it did get things working :)

I also have this issue using my hack rf one, the core reason is there is no /usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/Python exist, but I found that there is python 3.9 in the same path, so I make a soft link to that python dir, and it turn out working.
$ cd /usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions
$ln -s 3.9 3.7

I was able to fix the problem by running this command which changes the second Python reference in _osmosdr_swig.so to the correct one:

$ install_name_tool -change /usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/Python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/Python /Applications/GNURadio.app/Contents/MacOS/usr/share/gnuradio/python/site-packages/osmosdr/_osmosdr_swig.so

I tried a lot of things to fix this same issue, but @RocketManRC's install_name_tool suggestion finally got my RTL-SDR working for me on MacOS. I saw that it is mentioned on the official MacInstall section of the gnuradio wiki, but just don't know enough about these systems yet to have known that was the solution.
