Yes, that's sort of what I was getting at. The error seems like it's not trying to link the gmp library. Is the library present in your /usr/local/lib? You could try adding -lgmp to modules/linker_options and modules/Gmp/linker_options? If you can avoid triggering a rewrite of those files, it

Ah, sorry. Once you build pike (assuming that you've built it and then it won't install or start), build/darwin-ver-arch/pike is the uninstalled pike binary. You'd run otool -L on that file. bin/pike is a shell script that will let you start up pike without installing it by setting arguments

Just want to confirm that on a fresh install of Ventura on M2, pike head builds fine using home-brew provided nettle/gmp. I think there must be something strange going on in your build environment... You can confirm that the gmp library is linked by using otool -L /path/to/pike: otool -L

Hi Ken- Apologies for the long post. I'm primarily a MacOS user here, and I've had nothing but frustration with MacPorts. In fact, I tried to submit fixes for the problem you're referring to all those years ago and was met with silence. I eventually gave up trying. I can provide assistance

Hi Ken, If you’ve installed pike from a package, there will usually be a set of additional packages for modules that have extra dependencies, like gtk and various databases. You can use your package manager to explore and install those “add on” packages. If you’ve installed pike by compiling

Hi David- I'm not aware of a limitation... is it possible you have a circular reference somewhere? Do you suspect an overall size limitation, or do you think it's because of the number of includes? Removing the content from one or more of the files might give an indication of one vs the

If you had more complex needs, you could also explore the zip file module/program loading feature. I think that’s present in 8.0. I could provide some more details if that’s of interest. Bill Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 20, 2021, at 1:44 AM, Chris Angelico wrote: > > On Wed, Oct 20, 2021
