Mesa sdk + msg compilation issue on macOS Tahoe 26.2 #26
Description
Dear Rich Townsend,
I hope this is the right place where to ask this because I'm not sure whether this is a problem with my mesa sdk version or with something else. I've been wanting to install pymsg for pykylie to reproduce a non-radial pulsation model for a Be star that I'm studying. However, I'm having some issues.
At first, I was trying to compile msg but the compilation ended prematurely. As a result, for some reason the installation of pymsg went fine, but then running python -m pykylie returned an issue stating that pycmsg was not installed. I know there is an open issue about this, but the temporary solution listed there did not help me.
My mesa sdk version is quite old (November 4 2018) because I had to use it for a previous project. Somehow, I can't seem to download the newest versions for a problem of the installer (they say to contact the devs but there are no error logs).
Unfortunately, I had the bad idea to remove the old MesaSDK version and try to reinstall the latest version, with the same results. So I downloaded the same version I had before, and now for some reason I can't even start the compilation of msg because it says this:
Make.inc:18: *** MESA SDK is either not installed or not properly initialized. Stop. make[1]: *** [build] Error 2 make: *** [install-forum] Error 2
I'm sorry that I can't show you more of the previous problem for now, I accidentally closed the terminal and the outputs are all gone, and now I can't seem to move past the first step of the compilation.
What is weird is that if I do:
echo $MESASDK_ROOT
it return:
/Applications/mesasdk
as it should. This is also the output of gfortran -v
Using built-in specs. COLLECT_GCC=/Applications/mesasdk/bin/gfortran.exec COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/Applications/mesasdk/libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin18.0.0/7.2.0/lto-wrapper Target: x86_64-apple-darwin18.0.0 Configured with: /Users/townsend/devel/mesasdk-src/gcc/configure CC='gcc -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0' --build=x86_64-apple-darwin18.0.0 --prefix=/Applications/mesasdk --with-gmp=/Applications/mesasdk --with-mpfr=/Applications/mesasdk --with-mpc=/Applications/mesasdk --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --disable-multilib --disable-nls --disable-libsanitizer --with-sysroot=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk Thread model: posix gcc version 7.2.0 (GCC)
I think the problem might be related to the fact that I have a version of the mesa sdk that I can't seem to completely delete from my computer. Is there a way to fully remove the mesa sdk version? I thought removing the folder would suffice but It didn't. In fact, it's now worse because it seems the mesa sdk is no longer being correctly initialised.
I realise that this is now more of a problem with the mesa sdk but the MESA FORUM does not seem to be active anymore, and I thought I could the issue here since It's also related to msg. Please let me know if you want me to issue this to someone else.
P.S. I use a macOS Tahoe 26.2
Thank you.
