I can't build Root Digger on MacBook Pro M1 2020 macOS 13.2.1

[cristian-riquelme]

Hi. I am trying to install Root Digger. I couldn't get it with CMake or Docker. What do you recommend trying?

Sorry for the late reply. I think this is a bit of a problem in general. I don't have easy access to an M1 to test on, and the core library doesn't (officially) support the M1 chip.

However, your specific problem with building seems to be that you are missing the LAPACKE (notice the E) library. You are not alone, and this has been a constant problem. My current plan is to remove LAPACKE as a dependency, which should fix this issue, but I am unfortunately super busy at the moment. I don't think I will get to it soon, sorry.

The best I can say is try to install LAPACKE, but this seems to be quite difficult on MacOS in general.
