Lex:
As the error message says, your compiler does not work. How did you install
this compiler?

Hello Prof. Bangerth,

Thanks for your instant reply.

I just use "brew install spack" in the command line.

Previous version of deal.ii app on macos platform can run successfully. However, the latest version 9.5.2 can not.

Best,

Lex

Dear Lex,

I see you are using a spack installed version of the dmg package.

What package version is this? What OS version do you have (i.e., is this sonoma?). If you upgraded to sonoma, and are still using the old package, this cannot work, since the compiler has changed with the upgrade.

If you use the 9.5.2 package, deal.II comes pre-installed. Does that work for you?

Hello Luca,

Thank you for your kind reply.

I have 2 Intel-based mac devices. MacOS version on these 2 devices: Ventura + Sonoma. Both are installed with deal.ii version 9.5.2 and the latest compatible Xcode version. Unluckily, deal.ii 9.5.2 failed to run on these 2 devices.

Best,

Lex

Hi Luca, hi Lex

Has this issue been solved? I'm trying to install deal.II on my macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 with an Intel processor using the dmg package "dealii-9.5.2-sonoma-intel.dmg" and get an error like the one Lex reported. Any help on how to get deal.II running on my laptopt will be appreciated!

Best,

Ester
