Error installing on macOS 14.0 - Operation not permitted make: *** [install] Error 71

[erielias]

Hi everyone!

Trying to install the 4.7.3 version on my macOS Sonoma 14.0 (23A344) and getting the following error.
Here is the step-by-setp:

Xcode 15.0.1 installed
Xcode-select version 2399 installed

PG_PARTMAN_VERSION="4.7.3" wget "https://github.com/pgpartman/pg_partman/archive/refs/tags/v${PG_PARTMAN_VERSION}.zip" -O "pg_partman-${PG_PARTMAN_VERSION}.zip" unzip "pg_partman-${PG_PARTMAN_VERSION}.zip" cd "pg_partman-${PG_PARTMAN_VERSION}" make NO_BGW=1 install

I get the error:

also tried with sudo:

wget "https://github.com/pgpartman/pg_partman/archive/refs/tags/v${PG_PARTMAN_VERSION}.zip" -O "pg_partman-${PG_PARTMAN_VERSION}.zip" unzip "pg_partman-${PG_PARTMAN_VERSION}.zip" cd "pg_partman-${PG_PARTMAN_VERSION}" sudo make NO_BGW=1 install

First error does look like a permission error. I don't have Mac myself, but I know that when you run a sudo make on Linux you have to make sure the paths to all relevant binaries/libraries are also available while privileges are elevated. For example, on RHEL, the pg_config binary is not in the default path so when running sudo make there, I have to make sure I adjust the PATH setting.

There are some other closed issues here on this git repo with people doing compilation on Mac. Perhaps one of those might provide some insight.

@keithf4 I am facing the same issue on MacOS Sonoma 14.1 (23B74). So far not been able to figure out the workaround/fix for this.

Hi @erielias and @palashvijay, this seems to be an issue with System Integrity Protection, possibly due to the Postgres.app installation.

My suggestion would be to disable System Integrity Protection via Recovery Mode, restart back into the normal OS, then try installing pg_partman. Once you've done that, be sure to follow the same steps to enable SIP again.

Here are instructions on how to do this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/disabling_and_enabling_system_integrity_protection

Thanks a lot @keithf4 and @brettgoulder.
In my case, it was very simple fix.
Make sure your terminal has full disk access before installing:
Go to System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Full Disk Access and add your terminal application to the list or enable it.

I hope this will help more people paying attention on that one. In my case my terminal app used to have that access but for some reason, maybe MacOS updates, it was revoke and I did not noticed.

Thanks again!

@erielias even easier than disabling SIP ;) Thanks for letting us know.

@brettgoulder Thank you for the assistance!
