Problem installing in mac:No package 'glibmm-2.4' found

Question

I am facing the following problem (pasted below) during cmake. I have installed and linked glib (also performed each and every step described in GitHub instructions) brew doctor found no unlinked or non-writable directories.

please help?

Can you try erasing your build directory completely, creating a fresh one, and then running cmake again?

Comments

Thank you for your reply. I have done as you instructed. But the same problem persists. I don't know whether this might have something to do with or not but the glib in my mac is 2.52.0.

---

Did you perhaps install glibmm by hand from source? If you do

brew install gtkmm3

(as in the cadabra build instructions) it will install glibmm-2.4 just fine.

I haven't tried building against glibmm-2.5 yet, or against gtkmm-3.89 for that matter.

Thank you for your reply. I have once again run

brew install gtkmm3

in the terminal. After its completion, I have erased the build directory and tried to cmake again, now the following error is showing.

please, help.

That log shows that cmake cannot find the python development libraries. Are you sure you ran all of the brew commands listed in the installation instructions?

---

Thank you for replying. I have once again run all the brew commands (also following StackOverflow tried to link the libraries). But the same problem persists. Really don't know what to do next?

---

I have made a few small changes to the cmake configuration files. Can you check out the current version from github and give it another shot? Thanks.

---

Thank you very much for your help. I am really embarrassed to say that the problem still persists. Meanwhile I am using this beautiful software in linux and let me convey my sincere regards to you for creating Cadabra.
