jblas causes UnsatisfiedLinkError on aarch64 (m1) mac

[sirno]

jblas doesn't support m1 (jblas-project/jblas#134 )as @tgvaughan mentioned in CompEvol/beast2#1047

This results in the following errror.

Thanks Nicolas :)

Actually I just checked again, and it looks like version 1.2.5 should work on arm64, which is one minor version higher than what is packaged with mtt. https://github.com/jblas-project/jblas/pull/118

Hi, I'm running into the same issue—were you able to solve this? I tried replacing the jblas 1.2.4 jar file with jblas 1.2.5 and still ran into the same issue.

[tgvaughan]

Hi @triple-jay, I've just released a new version of MTT which includes (and is compiled against) the new jblas. Maybe this helps get things working on your system?

[triple-jay]

Thank you for your quick response and help! Unfortunately, it still is giving the same error 🥲

[tgvaughan]

Sorry to hear this. :-/ I think we're a bit stuck in this case then as far as apple silicon goes. Unless somebody has time to port MTT to a new linear algebra library which is supported on that hardware, or to include a Java-only implementation of the matrix computations. (This latter approach would probably incur quite a speed penalty.)

For now it seems that MTT will have to remain an intel-only package :-(

[triple-jay]

Got it thank you so much for your help :)
