This is a problem we've seen before on recent versions of the Apple C compiler. In the last few years apple has switched from the GCC compiler to clang, and they are not entirely compatible.

I've included a patch file, mtwist.patch, that should fix the problem. Copy the patch file to the root directory of the MEME Suite distribution. Then run the commands:

patch -p1 -i mtwist.patch

You should see the message: "patching file src/mtwist.h"

Run the command

make

and the build should run correctly this time.

Thank you very much for this patch! It works. Perhaps it should be included in the distribution.

It will definitely be included in the next release.

Hi,

I'm having the same problem when making MEME_4.10.0_1 or 4.10.0_2, except I'm running it in OS X Yosemite. I got it working on OS X 10.9 but not Yosemite. Could you help me with it?

Thanks,

Zhuoning

 Hi,

I try to use the patch but I keep getting this:

can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -r ee5e17863dd7 src/mtwist.h
|--- a/src/mtwist.h     Tue Aug 12 17:18:01 2014 -0700
|+++ b/src/mtwist.h     Wed Aug 13 17:57:33 2014 -0700
--------------------------
File to patch:

Is there anything I am doing wrong. I downloaded the patch into the meme_4.9.1 folder.

and from the comand line:

 patch -p1 -i mtwist.patch

Please can you help me with this problem?

Thanks,

Camilo

The MEME Suite 4.9.1 is almost five years old. The current version of the MEME Suite is MEME Suite 5.0.1, which can be downloaded here. This patch is not needed for the current release.

Also, patches are generally version specific. The mtwist.h file was not part of the MEME Suite source until version 4.10.0. The patch fails on version 4.9.1 because there is no mtwist.h file in that version.

What is the underlying problem you are trying to solve?
