Problem with installing dealii with macOS 10.13.4

[Henry Ho]

Hello, I am using Mac with macOS 10.13.4 installed. Since I am using cmake version 3.11, I switch on the cmake package by uncommenting the line: PACKAGES="${PACKAGES} once:cmake" in the candii.cfg file.

When I am trying to install dealii, the following error occurred:

Building opencascade 0.18.2

./candi_configure: line 91: /Users/winghangho/deal.ii-candi/cmake-3.4.0-rc2-Linux-x86_64/bin/cmake: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Failure with exit status: 126

Exit message: There was a problem configuring opencascade 0.18.2.

Any insight of how to fix this?

Thanks!

I was trying to install it using the source-based installer candi

Can you try to install a new version of cmake on your system (see

I think the cmake package
inside candi only works on linux.

Indeed Timo - a long time ago we had the compilation of cmake but we decided to do download only - this works only on linux

We should consider the case for macos and download a different version or do the compilation again.

PS. I use brew for installing cmake and the compilers, from there you also can update to a more recent version.

now I understand the problem, the cmake is too know. I'm working on a candi patch. On my mac it seem to run.

You can check it out by

git clone https://github.com/koecher/candi

cd candi

git checkout install-cmake-3.9-from-src
