Help with installing on macOS Ventura 13

[boryanah]

Hi,

I am trying to help a student install Corrfunc on their MacBook, which has the latest OS (Ventura 13, I believe). We tried Method 2 (i.e., directly using pip), but ran into the failed building wheel for Corrfunc error. Then we tried Method 1, but unfortunately got the following error after running make CC=gcc-13:

Do you know what could be going wrong and what else we can try?

@boryanah Thanks for reporting this! Yeah, this is a known issue and we are working towards a fix. In the meantime, please follow the comments/steps in #294 - hopefully that will at least let you compile and run (with FALLBACK kernels).

Thanks a lot! We managed to install it following the instructions in that thread.

Ohh great - glad at least you could use the workaround and get Corrfunc running. I am closing this issue but please feel free to reopen if you need additional help.
