Hi, happy new year!

I've been trying to install qmllib in my MacBook Air with M2, but I have been encountering the following error:

$ pip install qmllib

I reinstalled gcc using brew and also followed the recommendations on the QML website to install it on MacOS, but I still get this same error. Do you have any idea how to fix it?

Thanks,
Rafael.

Hi @charnley,

Thanks for the reply. Removing the -lgomp flag fixed it and I managed to compile it successfully. However, I had some issues when trying to use the rmsd package combined with qmllib in parallel. Specifically, it failed to import the generate_fchl19() function inside the calculate_rmsd.py script.

To make it work, I installed libomp via brew and changed the _compile.py file to add a few flags and paths. I'm sending the file attached (as a .txt) in case you want to check it.

Thanks for the support!

Best,
Rafael.

Hi @rafaelbicudo ,

There are some issues with OpenMP on Mac. For now, you can clone down the repository and remove -lgomp from the compiler flags in _compile.py. Then you should be able to install it.

Will find a general fix and push a new version to pip, ASAP.

Interesting. I tried the same arguments on my Mac, but it didn't work. I will try again later today.

I tried many different things before making it work, so maybe I set some additional environment variables I don't remember. If you want, I can try to recompile it to be sure about the details.

It worked for me as well. I've added the changes to PR [#21]. I will merge them soon and make a new pip version.
