Sorry, I overlooked this. This seems to be a problem with the perl version. You can check this with perl --version This should report "perl 5, version 38, subversion 2". However, there is a new version of polymake (4.12) available as a brew bottle, you may therefore first update and check ...

The homebrew tap uses the perl from homebrew, so this should work, if that perl is the one in your $PATH in the terminal you start polymake in. To compile from scratch on Silicon Macs currently requires the option "--with-brew=/opt/homebrew" for configure. This is currently not correctly d...

This error may be due to compiling for the wrong architecture. In the installation instructions this was fixed to x86_64 for Intel Macs). You may check your $HOME/.zshrc for the line ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" and change it to ARCHFLAGS="-arch arm64" . Open a new terminal (or sourc...

The homebrew formula is now updated for version 4.9 and should work on all Intel/M1 macs with Big Sur or above:

The updated homebrew formula should work on all Macs (Intel/M1) with Big Sur or above. It has binaries for Intel/Big Sur, Intel/Monterey and M1/Ventura, on the other thre combinations it compiles from the sources:

Here is a quick update about installing polymake on Mac OS. polymake can be installed on all current versions (Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura). There is a binary build for Mac OS 11.3 on intel Macs here . We cannot provide binaries for Macs with M1 or newer OS versions (lack of hardware to build the bin...

The missing gmp is a bit mysterious to me. Is brew installed at /usr/local/ (is there a folder /usr/local/Homebrew/)?
Is there a gmp.h at ?

The bundles don't work on newer macs. We are in the process of creting new ones, but that will still take some time.

I can't explain the first problem about decompressing the tar archive. Does your browser decompress automatically, but keep the file name? Anyway, you got the sources. The pages indeed haven't updated for a year now, but the general process should still be correct. From the second error I assume tha...

It may help do remove the quarantine bit for polymake with sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/polymake.app/ but I am pretty sure that the bundle for 11.3 will not work on 13.1 due to different perl versions and some other changes in the system. It certainly won't if you have a Mac w...

Installing through command line: We do not have a Mac with an M1 or M2 processor, so we cannot test installation or precompile homebrew binaries for it. If you post the error messages you get we may give you some ideas how to solve them. Using the bundle: This is most likely a problem with access re...
