Installation fail - MacOS.

[Ishaanjolly]

Mr Matthias suggested me to create an issue here. I understand that there has have already been a huge amount of issues that have been resolved with regards to installation, but something seems to be going haywire in my installation process and I am very keen to understand why and how to resolve it. Please, if you could see the my doings below.

On downloading scip-8.0.0 from the official website, and following the commands listed here: https://github.com/scipopt/scip/blob/master/INSTALL.md. I get a weird error:

-- Build shared libraries: ON
-- Build type: Release
-- Finding ZLIB
-- Finding ZLIB - found
-- Finding Readline
-- Finding Readline - found
-- Finding GMP
-- Finding GMP - found
-- Finding PAPILO
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:298 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "PAPILO" with any
of the following names:

PAPILOConfig.cmake
papilo-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "PAPILO" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"PAPILO_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "PAPILO"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I was wondering if you could please help me resolve this?

Many thanks for your time on this.

Dear @Ishaanjolly ,
Can you please post the command that you are executing, especially from where you are starting.
The output looks like are only trying to build scip, then you need to specify a path to papilo or set it to off in the cmake command with -DPAPILO=off.
However it could be simpler to just build the whole scipoptsuite (create a cmake build folder in the scipoptsuite directory as opposed to a cmake build folder in scipoptsuite/scip)
Best,
Franziska

Dear Franziska,

Apologies for the delay in my getting back to you. I got very busy with somethings.

Here are the commands I used:

Within scipoptsuite directory, I used the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make install

Output:

Error: No available formula with the name "bison".
Error: No available formula with the name "flex".

I think I should declare here that I was able to sucessfully install SCIP 7.0, and PySCIPOPT along with it. However, I guess the dependencies remained as I continued to install SCIP 8.0. Could you please suggest a way to get past this error and be able to work with SCIP. The bison assertion seems a bit weird as I already have it on my machine.

Dear @Ishaanjolly,
The requirements to flex and bison have changed, actually you can see in your output that bison has been found, but a version too old:

CMake Error at /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/share/cmake-3.21/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
  Could NOT find BISON: Found unsuitable version "2.3", but required is at
  least "2.4.0" (found /usr/bin/bison)

As you are on mac, cmake tries to find the necessary packages via brew, but can't seem to succeed. This could be due to your system being a bit too old?
If you don't need ZIMPL then you should be able to resolve the error by adding -DZIMPL=off to your initial cmake call, otherwise you'd need to manually install a suitable version of bison.
Hope this helps,
Best,
Franziska

Hi @Ishaanjolly - has your problem been solved? Please reopen if not.

EDIT: actually this error was due to CMake not finding TBB. When TBB is not there, the compilation of Papilo in its own directory downloads TBB and build it. But when building scipoptsuite directly this is not the case and, since the TBB dependency is missing it fails. The fix for me was installing TBB.

Initial Version

The test below is kept for reference, but see above.

I get a similar error with SCIP ≥ 8.0.0; to actually build it I need to:

cd ~/Downloads/scipoptsuite-8.0.0
cd papilo
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j 4

cd ~/Downloads/scipoptsuite-8.0.0
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
  -D PAPILO_DIR=~/Downloads/scipoptsuite-8.0.0/papilo/build \
make -j 4

That is build Papilo in its directory first and then build Scip pointing to the build directory of Papilo.

Maybe I am missing something?
