M1 wrong architecture after install script

[tomjefferis]

Im getting an error in my terminal when trying to run.

heres my trace:

Could you paste your result for file $(which python)

[fzzfbyx]

I have exactly the same situation, in the MacBook m1 virtual python environment when import tensorflow it occurs that error, don't know what to do...

[fzzfbyx]

@Willian-Zhang could you give us some advice please?

[Willian-Zhang]

@fzzfbyx Please paste your result for file $(which python) on that env,
a reference for proper setup:

[tomjefferis]

file $(which python)

The output:

$ file $(which python)
/Users/tomjefferis/tensorflow/bin/python: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64]
/Users/tomjefferis/tensorflow/bin/python (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/Users/tomjefferis/tensorflow/bin/python (for architecture arm64): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

I have exactly the same situation, in the MacBook m1 virtual python environment when import tensorflow it occurs that error, don't know what to do...

Possible workaround, worked for me in vscode and terminal:

• Download release from github and extract
• Create new python virtual environment
• Run the script to install to the newly created virtual environment

Switching to this environment in terminal I was able to import tensorflow mac and selecting this as the interpreter in vscode I was able to do the same where as before it was giving me the errors.

[Willian-Zhang]

@tomjefferis if you are having trouble running in vscode, please consider checking out beta version of it:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/?dv=darwinarm64&build=insiders

It might also be possible work out via to setup vscode integrated terminal to use external terminal.

[tomjefferis]

@Willian-Zhang Its working in vscode but not in pycharm

[fzzfbyx]

file $(which python)

thank you for replying. But in the first time I already do that. create a new env, run the script, in the env I can find the package but can't import. what else did you do to solve this problem?

[hoytak]

To clarify what is happening here for others encountering this issue.

There are two cpu subtypes for binary files on the M1, arm64 and arm64e. Trying to mix the two results in the error you see. For this pre-release version, we're focusing support on the arm64 version of python in the Xcode Command Line Tools, and the included wheel does not include an arm64e slice. To make sure you have the correct version of python run file $(which python) and it should display an arm64 slice, not an arm64e slice.

If you encounter this problem, install the Python version from Xcode Command Line Tools, then pass the path to that version into the install script using --python=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/python3.

[chinitaberrio]

Hi @hoytak, This is my first MacBook and I'm very confused about how to solve this issue, I got
/usr/bin/python: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64e:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e] /usr/bin/python (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 /usr/bin/python (for architecture arm64e): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e

I have Xcode installed, Could you please elaborate a bit more the way to solve it?

Thanks

[EthanDamien]

@hoytak, I agree with @chinitaberrio here. I'm not sure how I can change the python version so it is arm64e. I am also very new to MacBook and the instructions are not very clear. I installed using homebrew because I don't know how to install using command-line tools. What do I type in and where? I cannot find any advice anywhere else.

I got this issue fixed in my repo https://github.com/chinitaberrio/tensorflow_macos
just make sure you have installed xcode (download the latest version and install it): https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?=command%20line%20tools

Then in a terminal paste
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chinitaberrio/tensorflow_macos/master/scripts/download_and_install.sh)"
That should fix the issue :)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate this!

I'm having a very similar problem trying to run matplotlib inside a virtual environment. I hope this isn't the wrong place to ask about it. Here's the errror I get if I try to use matplotlib in ipython:

ImportError: dlopen(/Users/michaelbeavitt/.local/share/virtualenvs/michaelbeavitt-n2nhR21r/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PIL/_imaging.cpython-38-darwin.so, 2): no suitable image found. Did find:

here's the results of the which command:

Any ideas?

[chinitaberrio]

@mbeavitt I think the problem is with Pillow instead. I had a problem installing matplotlib but I fixed it by doing brew install libjpeg before installing matplotlib.

[mbeavitt]

Thanks for your advice! Unfortunately that didn't seem to change anything. Here is the full read-out when I try to use matplotlib in the python shell:

[chinitaberrio]

@mbeavitt Have you tried uninstalling pillow and matplotlib?
Pillow have also versions for M1 -> https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/8.0.1/#files
I found this, hope it helps you.

There are a lot of Python related libraries that I can't use on the new M1 Mac. Can't use pygame module, managed to install pygame==1.9.6 but when I run the scripts with pygame imported I get the good old
"mach-o, but wrong architecture".

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/Mike/games/spaceinvaders/main.py", line 1, in <module>
    import pygame

Same goes for pyais library, and many others.
There's got to be a global solution or the M1 architecture is really crap.

I'm having a similar issue, but with matplotlib. I looked at previous threads about the issue, but nothing solved the problem completely. When I run a program that involves matplotlib, this is my error message:
