It's too bad the author gave up on a Mac install. If all you need is the low level fundamental C++ libraries of GNU Radio, it can be done without installing dozens of support libraries. It's when you try to get all of the Python and graphic stuff happening that it gets really complicated. A Mac Mini with one of these $20 sticks is a decent little system for working on this stuff. It has enough horsepower, is totally quiet, doesn't take up much room, and only uses about 20 watts during ordinary receiving tasks.
