Instalation of SymEngine fails under macOS

[rdguerrerom]

As suggested by @Roger-luo I will report this issue here. Background information: I am using macOS Mojave Version 100.14. My version of julia is: (base) ruben@Rubens-MacBook-Pro-2:~$ brew cask info julia julia: 1.3.1 https://julialang.org/ /usr/local/Caskroom/julia/1.3.1 (123B) From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/master/Casks/julia.rb ==> Name Julia ==> Artifacts Julia-1.3.app (App) /Applications/Julia-1.3.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/julia (Binary)

In a pristine installation of julia, when I try to install SymEngine I got the following (perhaps compilation?) error message:

Can you do Libdl.dlopen(" /Users/ruben/.julia/packages/SymEngine/zSUGO/deps/libsymengine-0.4/lib/libmpc.dylib") and see if that gives a better error message?

[rdguerrerom]

Thanks for answering.

Looking at this post Libdl.dlopen is not a command, from another post it seems to be rather a compilation error.

[isuruf]

@rdguerrerom can you send the output of,

using Libdl
Libdl.dlopen("/Users/ruben/.julia/packages/SymEngine/zSUGO/deps/libsymengine-0.4/lib/libmpc.dylib")

[rdguerrerom]

Yes, the output is:

julia> using Libdl

[isuruf]

Did you compile /usr/local/gcc-7.1/lib/libmpc.dylib yourself? Can you send the output of otool -L /usr/local/gcc-7.1/lib/libmpc.dylib?

[rdguerrerom]

The libmpc comes with gcc, and it was installed using brew. This is the output that you asked for:

Hi Fernando,

Upgrading to the last version of Xcode fix the issues with SymEngine! :)

[rdguerrerom]

Thanks a lot for taking care of this issue!
