[Sage Build] libhomfly-1.03 fails on macOS while running `make`

[Albert Yao]

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to build SageMath from the GitHub source on MacOs Sequoia 15.3. The build runs fine until the libhomfly-1.03 package, and then fails. 

Has anyone seen this error on macOS? What’s the recommended way to fix or bypass this so I can build Sage completely?

I recently installed SageMath version 10.8.beta1, Release Date: 2025-08-27

on macOS Sequoia 15.6.1 (24G90) (Macbook Air M2)

It went smoothly.

It's hard to say what goes wrong for you without seeing the error message you are getting.

Please post more info.

Hi all,

Here is the error that I'm getting whenever I try running make in the terminal:

Error building Sage.

The following package(s) may have failed to build (not necessarily

during this run of 'make all-start'):

* package:         libhomfly-1.03

  last build time: Sep 9 12:08

  log file:        /Users/albertyao/sage/logs/pkgs/libhomfly-1.03.log

  build directory: /Users/albertyao/sage/local/var/tmp/sage/build/libhomfly-1.03

How should I fix this? Is there something I haven't downloaded that I should?

Many thanks,

Albert
