Error when running on macOS Ventura Intel mac

[bennetfabian]

Dear @Rolf-Hempel, dear other maintainers, first of all you deserve I would like to express my gratitude for the time and energy you invested into this project. It's awesome to have a platform-independent solution. I really hope you're able to help with my problem.

After successfully installing PlanetarySystemStacker I get the same error message as in #60 when I try to run PlanetarySystemStacker.

RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0x10 but this version of numpy is 0xf

macOS Ventura 13.2.1 Python 3.11.2 (installed via Homebrew) pip 22.3.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pip (python 3.11)

Is there any tweak or workaround I could try on my end? Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Bennet - what I do is clone the latest sources, manually install the required pip packages, and then just run the app with python3 planetary_system_stacker.py - works perfectly. Be sure to get a change that was made in July about the numpy issue.

I'm having a similar issue on Arch linux with the error message:

RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0x10 but this version of numpy is 0xf

Looks related to #71 and the fact that I have newer Python:

$ python -V
Python 3.11.3

I followed @mdolenga 's work around and fixed it by running from source after forcing upgrade of numpy like so:

# clone the repo
git clone git@github.com:Rolf-Hempel/PlanetarySystemStacker.git
cd PlanetarySystemStacker
# setup a venv
python3 -m venv ./venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
# install from pip into the venv just to get the dependencies
pip install planetary-system-stacker
# save the dependency list
pip freeze > requirements.txt
# now edit requirements.txt and upgrade numpy to newer than whatever is installed
# s/numpy==1.22.4/numpy>1.22.4/
# now update numpy
pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
# finally run it manually
cd planetary_system_stacker/
python3 planetary_system_stacker.py

This is what my pip freeze looks like after doing this and it seems to be working running from source
