macOS x86_64: using SparseIR fails because libsparseir_jll has no libsparseir product

[SamuelBadr]

I ran into a macOS/x86_64 precompilation failure while testing another package against SparseIR 2.x, and I was able to reduce it to using SparseIR in a fresh environment.

Reproducer

mkdir /tmp/sparseir-x64-repro
julia +1~x64 --startup-file=no --project=/tmp/sparseir-x64-repro -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.add(name="SparseIR", version="2.1.2")'
julia +1~x64 --startup-file=no --project=/tmp/sparseir-x64-repro -e 'using SparseIR'

Observed error

ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: `libsparseir` not defined in `libsparseir_jll`
Suggestion: check for spelling errors or missing imports.
Stacktrace:
  [1] getproperty

Further reduction

This seems to come from the JLL rather than from OvercompleteIR or any downstream package.

In a fresh x86_64 Julia environment:

mkdir /tmp/libsparseir-jll-x64-repro
julia +1~x64 --startup-file=no --project=/tmp/libsparseir-jll-x64-repro -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.add(name="libsparseir_jll", version="0.8.4")'
julia +1~x64 --startup-file=no --project=/tmp/libsparseir-jll-x64-repro -e 'using libsparseir_jll; println(isdefined(libsparseir_jll, :libsparseir)); println(filter(x -> occursin("sparse", String(x)), names(libsparseir_jll; all=true, imported=true)))'

prints

false
[:libsparseir_jll]

whereas on arm64 macOS the analogous check gives

true
[:get_libsparseir_path, :libsparseir, :libsparseir_handle, :libsparseir_jll, :libsparseir_path, Symbol("#get_libsparseir_path")]

I also checked the installed libsparseir_jll package contents locally. Its src/wrappers/ directory contains

• aarch64-apple-darwin.jl
• aarch64-linux-gnu.jl
• powerpc64le-linux-gnu.jl
• x86_64-linux-gnu.jl
• x86_64-unknown-freebsd.jl
• x86_64-w64-mingw32.jl

but there is no x86_64-apple-darwin.jl, and Artifacts.toml likewise has no x86_64 macOS entry.

So I think the immediate problem is that the current libsparseir_jll release is missing the macOS x86_64 wrapper/artifact, and SparseIR then fails when it expects libsparseir_jll.libsparseir to exist.

Environment

• macOS 26.4
• Julia 1.12.5 x86_64 (julia +1~x64 via juliaup)
• SparseIR 2.1.2
• libsparseir_jll 0.8.4+0

On the same machine, the arm64 Julia build does not have this problem.

I can confirm the same failure on GitHub Actions as well (macOS-latest, x64 runner), so this does not seem to be specific to my local setup.
