Perl version doesn't match on new installation for macOS Big Sur 11.6.2 (Intel processor)

[Casey]

Hello,
I am trying to install polymake on macOS Big Sur (Version 11.6.2, Intel Processor). I receive the following error after installing the polymake 4.5 MacOS 11.3 bundle. What is the best way to proceed to complete installation?

Code: Select all

your perl version (5.30.2) does not match the perl version this app was built for (5.18.4) please download and install the version of polymake that corresponds to the version of your system perl You can find the version number by executing /usr/bin/perl --version in a terminal. If there is no version of the polymake app matching your perl version please contact us at http://forum.polymake.org

Thank you very much!

Sorry, I linked the wrong package. Copy&paste.

Hi Andreas,

Thank you! I uninstalled the initial installation (by dragging it to trash) and reinstalled the new bundle you have linked. I now receive a new error:

Code: Select all

casey@Caseys-MBP ~ % /Applications/polymake.app/Contents/MacOS/polymake.run ; exit; grep: /Applications/polymake.app/Contents/Resources/polymake/lib/polymake/config.ninja: No such file or directory polymake build configure file is missing This should not happen. Your bundle seems to be corrupt. Please reinstall. Saving session... ...copying shared history... ...saving history...truncating history files... ...completed. [Process completed]

Advice appreciated, and thank you.

Indeed, this bundle is broken. I am sorry.

I was preparing bundles for the new version of polymake anyway, so I thought I provide this instead, but this currently does not work for Mac OS 11 (Big Sur). I have to investigate the reason and will publish the bundle once I found and fixed the problem.

The binaries for homebrew, however, are done and working for polymake 4.6. Maybe you could install via homebrew instead?

The bundle should be fixed now and contain the latest version 4.6

Dear Andreas,
Thank you very much! I installed polymake 4.6 via home-brew and am very excited about the new graphics features in the new version. They are quite nice and make for some beautiful images! Thank you for these improvements, and for your help with the installation.
