Installation issues on MacOS 14.4.1 (Sonoma)

[Marc Perlman]

My apologies for bringing up a problem that is only indirectly about the humdrum tools, but I'm wondering if some of the Mac users out there may have encountered this problem.

This is my first time using a post-Catalina OS (i.e. with the partitioned hard drive).  I've installed the tools (using git) into /usr/local/humdrum-tools, as per the instructions.  When I run the regression test, I get several failure reports.  Most of them seem somewhat random, but there are two that seem to be caused by the new file security system:

"text"

line 90: /32444.cxt: Read-only file system

"yank"

sh: /temp-32700-1: Read-only file system

This looks to me like it's trying to create files in the root directory, which is no longer permitted.

Has anyone else seen this, and found a workaround?

Thanks,

Marc

Hi Marc et al.,

> This looks to me like it's trying to create files in the root directory, which is no longer permitted.

Yes (it was never permitted for non-superusers to write to /).  The problem is that the $TMPDIR environment variable is not defined so instead of /tmp the text and yank tools are trying to write illegally to /.

 

I adjusted the text and yank tools to default to /tmp rather than / if $TMPDIR is not defined.  To update, go to the humdrum-tools directory and type:

make update

make

to download the updates and install the updates.

Test example:

(1) text:

Test input:

**kern  **silbe

*M4/4   *

=       =

4e      Ma-

4d      -ry

4c      had

4d      a

=       =

4e      lit-

4e      -tle

2e      lamb,

=       =

*-      *-

Expected output from the command "text input.krn":

**text

*

=

Mary

.

had

a

=

little

.

lamb,

=

*-

Or: "text input.krn | rid -GLId | grep -v ^= | fmt":

Mary had a little lamb,

Or using Humdrum Extras version of rid (called ridx):

text input.krn | ridx -H | fmt

Where "ridx -H" is equivalent to "rid -GLId | grep -v ^=", where the -H option means remove Humdrum formatting from the non-null data.

(2) yank

This is more complicated since the yank shell script calls 5 possible awk files (yank1.awk, etc.).

Here is an example of extracting the second full measure of music:

Input is the same as above.

Output of the command "yank -o '^=' -r 2 input.krn":

**kern  **silbe

*M4/4   *

=       =

4e      lit-

4e      -tle

2e      lamb,

*-      *-

Hi Craig,

  Thanks so much!

  I did the update, and the problem with the text tool has gone away--thanks! 😃

  However, the problem with the yank tool is still there. ☹️

  I'm not sure if there is some other, unrelated issue with my installation, since there are quite a few other failed tests.

  In case the pattern of failures gives you any clues, I list them all, below.

Thanks and take care,

Marc
