Hi,

I am trying to install dealii on a apple ARM M1 OSX, using the following instructor:

However, I get the following error:

Did you make any changes to candi.cfg? Can you also please post how you execute candi.sh (what arguments)?

Dear Timo,

No, I did not change anything; I did exactly what is explained in the following link, step by step:

What candi git branch are you on? You might need to switch to master to make things work for now.

Can you post how you execute candi.sh including the first few pages of output?

Thanks Timo,

I tried to switch to master, but again the same thing happened. 
So, now on the master branch of candi, same error.
I attached the log file, please take a look.
candi_build.log

I had removed candi, so I had to reinstall it.
But again got the same error.
The requested log file is attached. Please see.
detailed.log

It looks like you have a scalapack installation that got picked up and
caused the error. Can you do
cmake -D DEAL_II_WITH_SCALAPACK=OFF .
in the directory where you found the detailed.log? Follow that by
make install
(you can use -j to use more cores of course).

Thanks Timo.
I removed homebrew entirely, then reinstall it and just run:
brew install cmake open-mpi gcc

Then I install the master version, this time the setup was completed; however, when I tried to run step-1 example, this happened:

I removed this Master version, and install 9.3.3 version, it worked!
Many thanks Timo.

Hi! I am also trying to install Dealii on Apple M1 Monterey 12.2.1. I also got similar "failure with exit status: 2". May I ask what is the difference between the master version in this conversation and v9.3.3? Many thanks in advance.

I also have the same issue, irrespective of whether I try to compile using the v9.3.3 or the master version of deal.ii. I'm on Apple M1 Monterey 12.3.

Here's the compilation error for source/base/hdf5.cc:

In file included from /Users/fr714/dealii-candi-basic/tmp/unpack/deal.II-v9.3.3/source/base/hdf5.cc:20:

Seems odd as the correct version of hdf5 and all associated libraries seems to be found OK in the configuration step.

Can you post the output of "grep HDF5 detailed.log" in the directory /Users/fr714/dealii-candi-basic/tmp/unpack/deal.II-v9.3.3/ please?

Hi Timo,

The output I get is:

#            HDF5_DIR = /Users/fr714/dealii-candi-basic/hdf5-1.10.7

Best,

Fred
