OSX Mavericks ATLAS install failure from source AND Macports

1.6k views Asked by At

I'm trying to install ATLAS (because I need LAPACK/BLAS) on Mavericks from source, since installation fails via Macports (possibly for the same reason?). The compiler can't be located despite numerous attempts to set it:

sudo ../configure -b 64 --prefix=/usr/local/atlas --with-netlib-lapack-tarfile=../../lapack-3.4.2.tgz -C alg /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.7 -C if /opt/local/bin/gfortran-mp-4.7 --shared

The salient error is:

Unable to find usable compiler for ICC; abortingMake sure compilers are in your path, and specify good compilers to configure
(see INSTALL.txt or 'configure --help' for details)make[1]: *** [atlas_run] Error 1

The Macports error message is:

--->  Fetching distfiles for atlas

Depending on whether you need fortran or not, using the +nofortran flag with macports works on mavericks. If you need fortran, try setting the compiler to gcc4x instead of clang-mp-3.3
