TEST 3/7 nmt:field_t dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _util_malloc_

I managed to install the C libraries, but make check raises the following error:

NaMaster [master●] make check
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make  test/nmt_checks
make[1]: `test/nmt_checks' is up to date.

Any ideas? Let me know what specs you need!

Hey Daniel.

humm, that's weird. Have you tried just running the namaster executable to see if that throws the same error? Do you have issues with the python module (beyond the python-3 issues you've mentioned in #25 ?).

[DanielLenz]

Thanks for the quick response, David!
I'll try to run the C executable later today. Still can't import the lib in the python wrapper, will see how it goes once that is addressed.

I'm getting the same errors on my Mac.
Both this one and the one in #25

@NicolettaK @DanielLenz : you could try the newer version of the code that will be made available after the paper (it's being released as a DESC product, so we had to migrate the repo). The new repo is https://github.com/LSSTDESC/NaMaster (I will advertise this more widely after the paper has passed the internal review, which should be pretty soon). The installation process should be exactly the same.

The new version is not that different from this one, but it does include a very thorough list of unit tests and is travis'd, so maybe some of that may have solved this problem.

If it doesn't, let me know. I am not a Mac expert, but can ask one of the other people in the paper, who has been using it on mac for a while.

[DanielLenz]

Sorry for not getting back at you earlier, I'll check out the new repo and give it a shot!

Does that also mean that the DESC repo will be the active one and that you'll archive this one here? Just to know which one to follow, where to get any updates, and where to raise issues/PRs.

[damonge]

Almost surely, yes. I'll notify everyone who I'm aware has used the code (you are the first to know)

Hi,

I ran into the same problem as Daniel and tried to install the DESC repo instead, but I still get the same error, i.e.

Would you have any idea what could be causing this problem?
Thank you very much!

I've opened this in the LSSTDESC repo, closing here to focus the discussion.
