[BUG] PCT crashing - macOS BigSur M1 #789

Closed mkachlicka closed 2 years ago

mkachlicka commented 2 years ago

After downloading and installing, the PCT crashes when calling the acoustic similarity feature.

I checked for dependencies (Python 3.8 & all required packages installed) and tried installing both versions of dmg and fallback via terminal.

Screenshots I attached the copied text of the error message

Operating system and PCT version

OS: MacOS Big Sur Version 11.6
PCT version: v1.4.1

error from pct.pdf

Thanks for the report! Can I check: were you specifically trying to use the 'amplitude envelopes' representation and 'dynamic time warping' as the distance algorithm? I can get the crashing behaviour with amplitude envelopes & DTW, but other combinations are currently working for me.

We'll look into it, but I should say up front that we're not actively maintaining the acoustic similarity tool. We generally point people now to the phonetic counterpart of PCT: Montreal Corpus Tools and their various repositories (including Speech Corpus Tools): https://github.com/orgs/MontrealCorpusTools/repositories.

Hi, we've looked into this, and the error seems to be from a problem we already fixed (related to issue #718).

We confirmed that acoustic similarity works on later versions, so could you please download the pre-released executable from https://github.com/PhonologicalCorpusTools/CorpusTools/releases/tag/v1.5.0 , or try to sync to the latest codes?
