Installation Error on Mac Catalina #1813

Closed adiegel closed 4 years ago

adiegel commented 4 years ago

I am attempting to install Firedrake on an iMac running Catalina Version 10.15.6. I was previously able to install Firedrake on a Mac laptop also running Catalina using the commands:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin /usr/local/bin/python3 firedrake-install

These came from a previous help ticket #1703. However, when using the same strategy on the iMac, it fails. I am attaching the installation log here. Any help would be greatly appreciated! firedrake-install.log

I think this is because the relevant package in PETSc (Chaco) is written in pre-ansi C, and the C compiler on catalina has somehow become stricter. We will try and reproduce standalone and ship a bug report upstream.

Thank you!

Is this issue now solved?

wence- commented 4 years ago

I think not yet sorry.

adiegel commented 4 years ago

No. I'm still hoping someone else can reproduce this issue. I've tried a few other things to get Firedrake working on this machine, but to no avail.

I have managed to reproduce this error in my quest to fix "the numpy bug" , I will report back if I stumble across a fix

JDBetteridge commented 4 years ago

For anyone still experiencing the issue, could you try: export PETSC_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--COPTFLAGS='-g -O3 -Wno-implicit-function-declaration'" before running firedrake-install to see if this workaround allows you to install Firedrake (or at least get past the issue installing Chaco)

See also https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/3202 (when this merges I will update our petsc)

Thanks everyone! This seems to have worked. The install says it was successful but I have yet to run any tests. Thanks again!
