CRPropa3.1.7 installation in macOS 12.3.1

[antoniocapanema]

Dear developers,

I have problems installing CRPropa on my system System Information:

• Operating system: macOS 12.3.1
• Laptop
• Python version: 3.9.7
• Swig version: 4.0.2
• Cmake version: 3.21.4

I installed version 3.1.7 from git.

I read and followed the installation instructions at https://crpropa.github.io/CRPropa3/ . Before writing this request I also checked previous installation issues at https://github.com/CRPropa/CRPropa3/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+label%3Ainstallation+ . However, I could not find the solution to my problem.

After cmake is complete, upon running the "make" command, I get the following error at error at 74% progress:

[ 74%] Linking CXX shared library libcrpropa.dylib ld: library not found for -lprofiler clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) make[2]: [libcrpropa.dylib] Error 1 make[1]: [CMakeFiles/crpropa.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2

Thank you for any assistance you can give. Best, Antonio

Hi @antoniocapanema there seems to be a problem linking google perftools on MacOS; compare #372 and #236.

In case you do not need them try to the following cmake command: cmake .. -DNO_TCMALLOC=TRUE

Hi @lukasmerten, Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I was able to bypass this issue with the flag -DNO_TCMALLOC=TRUE. However, I ran into another issue a little further ahead during the "make" stage:

As far as I could find, there was no similar error reported in this forum. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Best, Antonio

EDIT: I made a mistake when specifying the exact paths of the python library and interpreter in the CMAKE step. I have solved this problem.

As the problem is solved I close the issue now. If there are further problems please reopen the issue.
