Re: [Ifeffit] Installing Demeter on macOS Ventura

Hi Yasin, I am a visiting scientist in Prof. Frenkel’s group at Stonybrook University. I am an Athena user on M1 Mac, and I might be able to give some information that might be useful. I am now using MacOS Monterey instead of Ventura, but there would be many things in common. I have a personal note for installing Demeter on M1 Mac. And you may try it if you want to use dathena on M1 Mac. https://github.com/Ameyanagi/Install_Demeter/blob/main/M1_Mac_native.md However, dartemis and dhephaestus does not work because for the following reasons. There is some incompatibility issue with the SDK of MacOSX11 and wxwidgets3.0, and it crashes with a segment fault. I can give a full crash report, but it is basically the same as the issue reported on GitHub of wxwidget 3.0 https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/issues/19005 This is fixed with wxwidget3.1, but the wrapper for Perl (wxperl) doesn't work with the new version of wxwidgets, so I haven’t been able to fix it. wxperl has not been maintained for the past 5 years.

Dear Matt,

Thank you for your kind interest. After writing to you I have realized some points. On my first trial I missed some of the steps in Macports installation, even if demeter installation went well but I couldn't reach Athena. On my second trial with reinstalling all macports steps I faced with the error I wrote in the mail. After a while I have uninstalled all macports and reinstalled demeter it seems it is installed again Commands didn't functioning. Within a couple of days I will try your advices. But I'm also interested in larch and its viewer or using virtual Machine of Windows.

Thank you for your kind interest.

Best Regards

Yasin

Hi Dear All,

I'm very new on MacOs and I'm trying to install demeter on MacOs Ventura.

1. I have Installed Xcode from MacOS App Store and, 2. Agreed Xcode license in Terminal: sudo xcodebuild -license 3. I have Installed MacPorts for my Mac operating system: - macOS Ventura v1 https://github.com/macports/macports-base/releases/download/v2.8.0/MacPorts-... 3

Later while I applied sudo port install xorg-server demeter I get attached error message. What should I do from now on Could you please help?

Best Regards,

Dr. Yasin HACISALIHOGLU

I think that you probably need to do both

xcodebuild -license xcode-select --install

and it would probably help to install XQuartz (link on the MacPorts page).

But, I just tried this too, on macOS 13.0 (Ventura). It looks like MacPorts does not yet have binaries for Ventura, and so will build everything (including compilers and system-level libraries) from source kits. That could easily take 6 hours and might be much more. I've had poor luck with MacPorts especially with trying to get GUI apps to run, but I'll see how it goes (currently compiling libgcc12!). If you have the patience to try this too, please let us know how it goes!

If you are interested, Larch and its XAS Viewer GUI App have many of the features of Athena and Artemis and do install and run on macOS.
