External package compilation with Mathematica 10 on Os X fails

Hello,

I'm using the Cuba Integration Library (http://www.feynarts.de/cuba/) with Mathematica on OS X for a while, but since I installed Mathematica 10 it doesn't work properly. It worked fine with Mathematica 9, but with Mathematica 10 I can't compile a working package. The compilation ends as it should, but when I try to Install the package in Mathematica, it just gets stuck with the evaluation forever. I uninstalled Mathematica 10, reinstalled Mathematica 9 and the compilation worked fine, and I could use the package with Mathematica 9 and 10 as well. However after I installed Mathematica 10 again and compiled the package, I encountered the same problem as mentioned above. Do you know any reason or change in Mathematica 10, that can cause this problem with the compiled packages?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you!

Copying the mathlink.framework to the ~/Library/Frameworks solved my problem (also the other way with the statically linked executables worked).

However, do I have to do this every time I update to a new Mathematica version?

How exactly did you copy the mathlink.framework? I cannot find this file at all.

Hi Kirill

Did you find the answer? I have same question.

If linking dynamically with the mathlink.framework bundle, a copy should be placed where the system can find it, for example in ~/Library/Frameworks.

Alternatively, configure Cuba with MCFLAGS=-st for statically linked executables.

Seems to work fine for me.

In[1]:= Install["Vegas"]

Out[1]= LinkObject['/Test/Cuba-4.2/Vegas', 63, 1]

In[2]:= Vegas[Exp[x + y], {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}]

Iteration 1:  1000 integrand evaluations so far
[1] 2.95067 +- 0.0385019  	chisq 0 (0 df)

Iteration 2:  2500 integrand evaluations so far
[1] 2.95268 +- 0.0120591  	chisq 0.00303856 (1 df)

Iteration 3:  4500 integrand evaluations so far
[1] 2.95262 +- 0.00424643  	chisq 0.00306927 (2 df)

Iteration 4:  7000 integrand evaluations so far
[1] 2.95313 +- 0.0015912  	chisq 0.0198108 (3 df)

Vegas::success: Needed 7000 function evaluations.

Out[2]= {{2.95313, 0.0015912, 0.000737209}}

In[3]:= $Version

Out[3]= 10.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (December 4, 2014)

What happens if you try to launch one of the MathLink executables from the command line, e.g.

$ cd /Test/Cuba-4.2
$ ./Vegas

Thanks for your reply!

If I try the routines in the command line the error is the following:

dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/mathlink.framework/Versions/4.25/mathlink
  Referenced from: /Users/IMSzecsenyi/Cuba-4.2/./Vegas
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

If I try with the routines compiled while only Mathematica 9 was installed the outcome is what I supposed should be:

Create link: 

(Also with the Cuba version 4.2 the Divonne and Suave routines stuck during the compilation for me:

make: *** No rule to make target `src/suave/Suave.tm', needed by `Suave'.  Stop.

)
