Answer 1

I got the same error message running gnuradio on the rpi3 (raspbian), and I found this question, so for posterity, I was able to get it working by installing Ubuntu MATE for Raspberry Pi on my rpi3, and running sudo apt install gnuradio and sudo apt install grgsm_scanner . grgsm_scanner (and gnuradio in general) launches fine now.

Answer 2

the python interpreter is written in C and this error is caused by glibc see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907649 and https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/3304/

normally this due to memory leaks in the code, however in case of gnuradio that is a really complex code it is possible that during the installation process some modules were missed. in 2013 this caused a similar error ( osmoSDR not installed )
