[daip] Unable to start AIPS: Error with library libsvml.dylib on MacOS

[Arnaud Collioud]

Hello Eric,

Indeed the symbolic links in /usr/local/lib were pointing to my previous AIPS version (31DEC17).
After correction, AIPS started normally.

It was not clear to me I had to run the script fix_aips_elcap.sh for higher versions of Mac OS. But now it is!

No, I did nothing special on my side… So I do not know where that @rpath comes from.

Thanks!

Cheers,
A.
