Problem Installing openMC with macOS M3Pro

tklemes · July 19, 2024, 12:20pm

hello,

I am having some difficulties installing openMC. I tried initially with conda, but it didn’t end up fully installing. Now, I’ve been trying with source, and I thought was able to successfully install, but when I tried to run the file, there was issues with producing the plot, where I got this error below.

I ended up coming here and I found out that I needed to do another extra step in the installation, so I ended up installing again using the same method as before, following the steps described in both of these:
https://docs.openmc.org/en/v0.12.1/quickinstall.html#installing-from-source-on-linux-or-mac-os-x
https://docs.openmc.org/en/v0.12.1/usersguide/install.html#build-configuration

I followed the instructions to a T but when I try to do “cmake …” I get this error.

If anyone can please help, I would really appreciate it!!

First: Instead of sending a screenshot, copy or paste the text here, it will be easier for us to look for information to help you.

Second: are you using a old version of OpenMC (0.12.0)?
Please consider using the latest version: 0.15.0
Maybe you are using the newer version, but the documentation link you sent is for the old version, please follow the updated documentation.

Third: can you share the “install script” that you use? Or the step by step how did you install OpenMC?

Fourth: The message you received is an architectural error, which is that your processor is ARM64 and was running an x86_64 binary

Where is the documentation for the newer version?
here is the error:

It fails with the following output:

and this is what I did:

export CXX=/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/bin/clang++
git clone --recurse-submodules GitHub - openmc-dev/openmc: OpenMC Monte Carlo Code
cd openmc
git checkout master
mkdir build && cd build
cmake …
and then I get the error

About documentation, I will split the link you send:

https://docs.openmc.org/
en/
v0.12.1/
quickinstall.html

As you can see, is about version v0.12.1

But use the command git checkout masterthat change the git repository to the version “stable” (today is v0.15.0)

You can just change the link to “stable” version, like this:

https://docs.openmc.org/
en/
stable/
quickinstall.html

Or you can select the version here:

Select stable:

As you can see, the error is in LD, can’t link with QT:

If you follow the stable documentation, they put the folowing pakages as prerequisites on macOS:

brew install llvm cmake xtensor hdf5 python libomp libpng

You can try folowing the docummentation first, but in my opinion your error is because don’t have QT installed. So maybe this can solve your problem:

brew install qt
