AttributeError: module 'limesdr' has no attribute 'source' on MacOSX

[joelaso]

Hello all,

I'm running gnuradio 3.8 on mac OS X 10.15.4. I have a limeSDR with the following [LimeSDR-USB, media=USB 3.0, module=FX3, addr=1d50:6108, serial=0009081C05C31638]. when adding the sink and source block on my grc I get the following when executing.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/joelquintana/Documents/cSETR/Small Satellite/Francis Building/Ground Station/GNURadio EGSS Version 2.1/flowgraphs/of2_radio_decoder.py", line 319, in <module>

AttributeError: module 'limesdr' has no attribute 'source'

I tried a fresh install of gr-limesdr per the instructions on https://wiki.myriadrf.org/Gr-limesdr_Plugin_for_GNURadio with the following error results.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:130 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindGnuradio.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Gnuradio",
  but CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Gnuradio" with any
  of the following names:

    GnuradioConfig.cmake
    gnuradio-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Gnuradio" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Gnuradio_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "Gnuradio" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
  been installed.

Thanks again for the help!

I'm experiencing the same issue

I have solved this using the following steps:

1. git clone https://github.com/myriadrf/gr-limesdr.git into any directory
2. source /Applications/GNURadio.app/Contents/MacOS/usr/bin/grenv.sh
3. cd gr-limesdr
4. mkdir build & cd build
5. cmake ..
6. make
7. make install

This will rebuild and reinstall the limesdr plugin, after which everything works as expected.
