Unable to complete installation on MacOS Monterey

[Sathish_kumar]

Hi,
I'm trying to install openMHA through homebrew on a Macbook. But I can't complete the installation, and it freezes in between. I have attached the screenshot of the frozen window to this post, and I kindly request forum members help me complete the installation.

Thank you

Kind regards,
Sathish Kumar.

It matches my experience that some homebrew packages are sometimes broken. In your case, the homebrew qt package seems to be broken.

When this happens, you can generally

• either wait a few days and try again (file a bug report with homebrew if it takes longer)

• or try to install an older version of the package that causes problems

I tried uninstalling openmha and qt today on a mac and reinstalled openmha with brew install openmha/tap/openmha and installation worked including installation of the qt dependency, so this problem seems to have been fixed in the meantime. I have received qt version "stable 6.7.2 (bottled)" which got installed in the "cellar" at "qt/6.7.2_2".

Additional notes for your case:

As qt is only needed as a dependency of qjackctl, and qjackctl itself is only a "recommended" dependency of openMHA, you could try to install openMHA without any recommended dependencies.

Your brew has tried to compile qt. This is unusual, it is usually installed from a pre-compiled "bottle". Maybe at the time of your attempt, "bottles" for the latest qt version had not yet been provided, or maybe you have configured homebrew to prefer self-compilation over installing pre-compiled "bottles". In the latter case, switch back.
