Cannot install FFTW on Apple M2-MAX chip, `libmkl_rt_path` not defined #274

xiang-yu · 2023-07-02T20:27:37Z

Hi everyone,

I've got the following error when installing the "FFTW" package with Julia version 1.9.1 on M2 Max chip with Ventura 13.4

Any tips on resolving this?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

giordano · 2023-07-02T20:32:25Z

The offending line is

FFTW.jl/src/providers.jl

Line 86 in 008bc5b

libfftw3[] = MKL_jll.libmkl_rt_path

but that's inside the block guarded by

FFTW.jl/src/providers.jl

Line 84 in 008bc5b

@static if fftw_provider == "mkl"

so it appears you are explicitly requesting MKL, which isn't available on ARM CPUs. You should just not do that. See https://juliamath.github.io/FFTW.jl/stable/#Installation

xiang-yu · 2023-07-02T22:38:53Z

Thanks a lot for your prompt, @giordano!
I don't even get a chance to not request for the MKL.
Here are my command for installing FFTW. As you see the error occurs before I can execute
using FFTW. Any tips on overcoming this? I am totally happy with just using the default version without MKL.

Pkg.add("FFTW")

I've now updated my code. How about now? @giordano

giordano · 2023-07-03T08:49:56Z

Not really, but I fixed that for you again.

Anyway, you're saying that you're trying to install FFTW in a fresh environment without any LocalPreferences.toml file?

xiang-yu · 2023-07-03T15:09:22Z

Thanks @giordano . Yes, I think so. I used the "Finder" function on Mac and couldn't find it. How to find the LocalPreferences.toml file of the FFTW package?

Is this a completely fresh install of Julia or did you migrate over from an older Mac where you copied your old .julia folder and perhaps inadvertently copied over a package preference for MKL?

Short of deleting ~/.julia and re-installing everything, I think you can set the FFTW preference to be non-MKL without installing FFTW first by something like:

using Preferences, UUIDs
fftw = UUID("7a1cc6ca-52ef-59f5-83cd-3a7055c09341")
set_preferences!(fftw, "provider" => "fftw")

stevengj · 2023-07-03T15:56:38Z

That being said, maybe we should look at Sys.ARCH before attempting to use MKL.

giordano · 2023-07-03T15:58:57Z

Or more generally MKL_jll.is_available(), which would would tell whether MKL is available for the current platform or not.

xiang-yu · 2023-07-04T03:56:55Z

Thank you, @giordano @stevengj , both. I completely uninstalled Julia and reinstalled it ago. The default FFTW works now.
