Repeatmodeler will not install in Mac OS monterey

[emmannaemeka]

Describe the issue

I have been trying to install Repeatmodeler

Perl version

This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 1 (v5.32.1) built for darwin-thread-multi-2level

Python 3.9 Mac OS Monterey

Error

perl ./configure Size.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0xc400080, needed 0xfa80080)

Please how do I solve this? A concise description of the bug, including any error messages.

Reproduction steps

1. Steps to reproduce the behavior, including the command lines given to the program

• and links to publicly available genome assemblies and other data files (if available).

Log output

Please paste or attach any and all log output, which includes useful information including data file statistics and version numbers. An easy way to capture this is to redirect the log output to a file e.g RepeatModeler -database mydb >& output.log. The log output should include the "random seed" value at the start of the run. This number will be necessary in order to reproduce the run exactly.

Environment (please include as much of the following information as you can find out):

• How did you install RepeatModeler? e.g. manual installation from repeatmasker.org, bioconda, the Dfam TE Tools container, or as part of another bioinformatics tool?

• Which version of RepeatModeler do you have? The output of RepeatModeler without any options will be a help page with the version of the program displayed at the top.

• Which version of RepeatMasker is this RepeatModeler installation using? Have you installed RepBase RepeatMasker Edition for RepeatMasker, or the full Dfam database?

• Operating system and version. The output of uname -a and lsb_release -a can be used to find this.

Additional context

• Add any other context you have about the problem here. Some possible examples:
  • If an older version of RepeatModeler worked before
  • If the problem only happens with specific data files

Sorry but we do not currently support RepeatModeler on anything but a UNIX based OS. The memory and processing requirements of the program make porting to a MacOS/Windows unlikely anytime soon.

Thanks for your email Nnaemeka Emmanuel Nn This is a Unix based system

So this isn't MacOS Monterey? MacOS is not a typical UNIX OS.
