I have been trying to install Biogeme in MAC this error pops up.

[Michel Bierlaire]

The issue does not come from Biogeme, but from the installation of the python-Levenshtein package.
Your system is trying to build it from source, and the compilation fails. However, precompiled binaries are available on PyPI:
https://pypi.org/project/python-Levenshtein/

Please check your Python version — it must be 3.10 or later.
Also, make sure to install the package in a clean virtual environment, to avoid conflicts with other installed packages:

Try Python 3.13 or Python 3.12.  Usually when my Mac tries to compile something from source it’s because the compiled release isn’t available yet for the Python I’m using.  Python is a disaster with dependency version management.
