Anaconda3 Install on Big Sur

I am trying to install the Anaconda3 enviroment based package on Big Sur. I am using Python 3.8.10 on Big Sur 11.4

I have made the symbolic link etc as described in the package: LW-klayout-0.27.2-macOS-BigSur-1-qt5Ana3-Rana3Pana3.dmg

Everytime I try to run KLayout it does not open and crashes mostly I believe because of a path issue

"Termination Reason: DYLD, [0x1] Library missing

Application Specific Information:
dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries

Dyld Error Message:
dyld: Using shared cache: 4A889CE9-8D7E-304E-A5F7-84D819B0BF9C
Library not loaded: @rpath/libpython3.8.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/klayout.app/Contents/MacOS/klayout
Reason: image not found"

Obviously I'm missing something but cannot make it work. Can you help please

Thanks

Mike

  • Hi Mike,

    Thank you for posting this issue.
    It might be an issue with Python version compatibility.
    I expect that your Python 3.8.10 can work with the published KLayout binary.
    But it does not work actually; weird :s

    [1] My "anaconda3" environment in which I built the LW*dmg is a bit old, as shown below.

        (base) BigSur2{kazzz-s} ~ (1)% which python

        (base) BigSur2{kazzz-s} ~ (2)% python --version
        Python 3.8.2

        /Applications/anaconda3/lib

            /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1213.0.0)
    

    [2] KLayout uses dynamic-link libraries:

    (base) BigSur2{kazzz-s} MacOS (7)% pwd
    /Applications/klayout-ana32.app/Contents/MacOS  <== I've renamed the application bundle.
    
    (base) BigSur2{kazzz-s} MacOS (8)% otool -L ./klayout | grep python
        @rpath/libpython3.8.dylib (compatibility version 3.8.0, current version 3.8.0)
    
    (base) BigSur2{kazzz-s} MacOS (9)% ./klayout   ===> KLayout can start normally.
    

    My suggestions:

    1. Test the KLayoutAna3.app script bundle, which is included in the DMG.
      Please read section [2] through [4] of the "Anaconda3User-ReadMeFirst.txt" file.

    2. Install anaconda3's python 3.8.2 if acceptable.

    3. Build KLayout from the source code. It's easy but takes time.

         $ ./build4mac -q qt5ana3  -r ana3  -p ana3
         $ ./build4mac -q qt5ana3  -r ana3  -p ana3  -Y
             Please refer to section 6E. of the "macbuild/ReadMe.md" file for more details.

    Thanks for the quick response. Might take me a couple of days to get around to further investigation but I'll keep you posted
    Mike

  • I'm not sure I can follow. But maybe "@rpath/..." is not pointing the to right place?

    Another thing I see on other OS: if the message is "shared object not found" this may also mean that this shared object is found, but it depends on other shared objects which are not found. On Linux "LD_DEBUG" is your friend in this case. I think that "DYLD_DEBUG" exists on MacOS. You can set this environment variable to print details about the shared object loading sequence.

    I got the reason. A bit embarrassing. :(

                  V
             path /Applications/anaconda3/lib (offset 12)
    

    The Catalina version is OK.

    I'll rebuild the DMG for Big Sur with Aanaconda3.
    Would you please give me some time?

    You can try the Catalina version on Big Sure for the time being if you like.

    Kazzz-S

  • The DMGs (for Catalina and Big Sur) with Anaconda3 bind both Python 3.8.x and Ruby 2.5.x.
    So you need to install Ruby by:
    $ conda install ruby
    When installing the Ruby package, Python is downgraded from 3.8.10 to 3.8.2.

    I have rebuilt the second DMG for Big Sur + Anaconda3 (LW-klayout-0.27.2-macOS-BigSur-2-qt5Ana3-Rana3Pana3.dmg), which will be published soon.

    @kazzz Thanks for taking care of this! :)

    Let me know when the new version is ready so I can put it on the server.

    BTW: I'll publish 0.27.3 soon.

    Matthias

  • Hi Matthias,

    It's ready. I have added a comment to the closed ticket: https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/844#issuecomment-879853650 , and sent you a separate mail.

    It is in https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l6jin4ggqsm4am1/AAD5kLFVG0QhQVTG6GT2MWtwa?dl=0
    Please find

    • LW-klayout-0.27.2-macOS-BigSur-2-qt5Ana3-Rana3Pana3.dmg
    • LW-klayout-0.27.2-macOS-BigSur-2-qt5Ana3-Rana3Pana3.dmg.md5

    Thank you for your effort in making the next release 0.27.3; I'll do as usual :)

    Kazzz-S

  • @kazzz Thanks a lot for the update. I have uploaded the 0.27.3 versions and the 0.27.2 fix to the server.

    Best regards,

    Matthias

  • Hi all, sorry for the radio silence. Just been busy - thanks for finding the issue. I tried 27.3 and seems to be playing nice with Anaconda now
