Install with Homebrew

[misha]

I try to install polymake 4.11 using Homebrew tap with perl version 5.38, but I cannot load polymake and get the following error message. My MacOS is Sonoma 14.4.1

Code: Select all

What should I do? I try to uninstall --force and reinstall, but keep getting the same error message as above.

Thanks for helping in advance!

I realized that Polymake is not compatible with Perl 5.38.2, so I tried to install perlbrew and perl 5.36.1 and switch to this older version. Then when I "./configure", I got this

I installed gmp via Homebrew in /opt/homebrew and even if I exported /opt/homebrew in the PATH variable in the .profile in my home folder, Polymake in my home folder is still unable to find gmp.

Is there a way to let it find gmp installed by homebrew? =

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 detected in the configuration script, and will be fixed with the next version of polymake. If you have the latest MacOS version and XCode, then you probably also have to edit the file build/config.ninja and remove "-L/usr/local/lib" from LDFLAGS and add "-Wno-unused" to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS (due to some older code bundled with polymake that newer clang versions now complain about).
