Re: x86_64 version of libncurses

[Sriranga Veeraraghavan]

Hi Murray,

Are you sure you downloaded the M1/ARM version of Sage?  

Based on the error message below, I’m guessing you may have accidentally 
downloaded the x86_64 DMG instead of the ARM64 DMG (they are both available on 
GitHub, with the ARM64 version being about 90MB smaller than the x86_64 version)

I just downloaded the ARM specific DMG for Sage 9.7 from GitHub and did not see 
this issue on my M1 MacBook Air:

Best,

-ranga

MacPorts downloaded package with wrong architecture on arm64 machine

[Ian Wadham]

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro with Monterey O/S and installed MacPorts 
on it from scratch.

I installed the qt4-mac port successfully, but kdelibs4 refused to install 
because the qt4-mac port did
not support arm64 architecture and i am on an Apple Silicon arm64 machine.

The problem arose because the installation process for qt4-mac included the 
steps:

—>  Attempting to fetch qt4-mac-4.8.7_13.darwin_21.x86_64.tbz from 
https://packages.macports.org/qt4-mac
—>  Attempting to fetch qt4-mac-4.8.7_13.darwin_21.x86_64.tbz.rmd160 from 
https://packages.macports.org/qt4-mac

The second step succeeded, i.e. MacPorts itself downloaded an inappropriate 
package for an Apple
Silicon machine. I noticed that some (maybe not all) of qt4-mac’s dependencies 
were compiled or
downloaded as arm64 code and, curiously, some of Qt4’s utility apps work on my 
machine, perhaps
due to the Rosetta emulator stepping in and taking over.

The kdelibs4 install failed in the “Computing dependencies…” step, saying 
“Error: Cannot install kdelibs4 for
the arch arm64 because its dependency qt4-mac only supports the archs ‘ppc 
ppc64 i386 x86_64’”

Is this a bug or is it the end of the line for kdelibs4 on arch64? Can kdelibs4 
really build as arch64? And what
about its (enormous) list of other dependencies? Do they all build for arch64?

If there is a bug here, I think it is that MacPorts can download a package for 
an inappropriate architecture.

Best regards,
Ian Wadham.

Did a bit more research and the following seems to have unblocked things:

Issue while install gnuradio +grc +qtgui

I am trying to install GNU Radio with the variants grc and qtgui, via `sudo 
port install gnuradio +grc +qtgu`, but I am getting a failure:

Any ideas?

Re: x86_64 version of libncurses

Murray Eisenberg 
is rumored to have said:

Under macOS 12.5.1 on an M1 Mac, I'm trying to use the SageMath system 
(https://www.sagemath.org ) from the 
command-line in Terminal, and for that libncurses is required.


Under MacPorts 2.7.2 I have:

 sudo port installed | grep ncurses
 ncurses @6.3_0 (active)


If that was built with +universal, it would say so.



And sudo port info ncurses says that it is universal and is for 
platforms darwin, freebsd.


'port info' tells you about the AVAILABLE port, not the INSTALLED port.

'port installed' tells you about what you actually have installed.

x86_64 version of libncurses

[Murray Eisenberg]

Under macOS 12.5.1 on an M1 Mac, I'm trying to use the SageMath system 
(https://www.sagemath.org ) from the command-line in 
Terminal, and for that libncurses is required. 

Under MacPorts 2.7.2 I have:

 sudo port installed | grep ncurses
 ncurses @6.3_0 (active)

And sudo port info ncurses says that it is universal and is for platforms 
darwin, freebsd.

The SageMath system installed is the arm64 version. However, when I run the 
sage command, I get error:

[~] % sage
dyld[16273]: Library not loaded: '/opt/local/lib/libncurses.6.dylib'
  Referenced from: '/usr/local/bin/bash'
  Reason: tried: '/opt/local/lib/libncurses.6.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an 
incompatible architecture (have (arm64), need (x86_64))), 
'/usr/local/lib/libncurses.6.dylib' (no such file), 
'/usr/lib/libncurses.6.dylib' (no such file)
/usr/local/bin/sage: line 20: 16273 Abort trap: 6   /usr/bin/env - 
PATH="$PATH" $MIN_ENV "$SYMLINK"/venv/bin/sage "$@“

Is there some fix from the MacPorts end?
