Problem Running Step-1

[Kavya Velmurugan]

Hi, 

I'm trying to run something that requires Deal.II. I had an older MacBook Air which ran on an Intel chip where I didn’t seem to have any problems. However, I cannot seem to run step-1 successfully on my MacBook Pro which uses the Apple M1 chip. Would anyone happen to have any advice on this? I’ve attached a text file with the inputs and outputs of what I ran as well. 

Thanks,

Kavya

Hi Kavya,

The 9.2 Mac package was built before these new Apple M1 chips were released, so it is unfortunately not compatible with them. I’ve got no experience with it, but you could try to use the Apple Rosetta application to see if that can somehow work around the issue. Here’s a link that explains what Rosetta is: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861

If that doesn’t work, then there is still some promising news: one of the developers is in the process of acquiring a new Apple computer so that we can build a new package that will be compatible with the latest Apple silicon. You’ll just have to be a little patient, and wait for the announcement of the new release. At that point, we should have a package that targets both Intel and Apple processors.

Best,

Jean-Paul
