[QE-developers] Problem to install Quantum Expresso on Mac M1 chip

[Tommy Nguyen]

Dear Paolo,

I apologize for not explaining what I did. I tried to follow an instruction on gitlab.com/QEF/q-e

After downloading q-e-qe-6.7.0 on my Mac M1, I open the folder and type ./configure CPP="gcc -E" and let it configure itself.
Then, in the make.inc file, I uncomment the TOPDIR line (TOPDIR = /Users/my-directory/q-e-qe-6.7.0).
After that, I typed make all and waited until it finished. I got an error showing that make[1]: *** [libqefft.a] Error 1 & make: *** [libftt] Error 1. It is more likely Warning: Type mismatch between actual argument at (1) and actual argument at (2 (REAL(8)/COMPLEX(8)).
Then I typed make install. I received a message that Quantum Expresso binaries are installed in /usr/local/bin.
Finally, I decided to run an example for a quick test by going to example01 folder and run ./run_example. I got an error message showing that ERROR: /Users/my-directory/q-e-qe-6.7.0/bin/pw.x not existent or not executable. Aborting.

Regarding the error, I was thinking that I might have missed any packages/directories that caused an error.

In case I typed make -j8 all and make install, I got a message showing that cp: /usr/local/bin/upfconv.x and virtual_v2.x : permission denied.


I have been trying to search the installation on the forum and google to see what other people did but most of them showed on UbuntuOS and Intel-based chip Mac, so I could not fix my error. Thus, I would be much appreciated to have the problems got fixed.


Sincerely,
Tommy

I wonder if the email will be appropriate to be sent without being ignored?

you did not clearly explain what you did and what did not work,so your message was ignored, and rightly so.
