Error when installing Cadabra2

[AndreasSchachner]

The following issue appeared when installing Cadabra2 on my Mac using homebrew. Is the package compatible with macOS Big Sur and Python3.9?

ERROR MESSAGE:

I currently do not have a Big Sur machine, so this is going to be interesting to debug. Did I correctly understand that you attempted to install with homebrew (using brew install cadabra2)? If so, can you try building from source instead, with the current version available from github?

[AndreasSchachner]

Thank you for the quick response. I installed Cadabra2 from GitHub today without any issues. But I'm still not sure though what's going wrong in the installation via homebrew.

[kpeeters]

The homebrew version is still on 2.3.0, and there are probably some fixes which have gone in in the meantime to sort out those build problems. I'll do an update again once 2.3.6 is out.
