Let me see. In you case it looks for just gfortran. This is admittedly<br>
a bit odd. On MacOS using homebrew or macports it should look for<br>
gfortran-13 or gfortran-mp-13 respectively.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

I have seen issues with Macs that change their machine name since they<br>
get derive it from their WiFi IP address. So here's my suggestion:<br>
<br>
* run hostname -f to find out your laptops (current) machine name<br></blockquote>

* look for the newest file simfactory/mdb/machines/*.ini . It should<br>
have quite a long name that looks similar to the output of hostname<br>

* if the file name differs (other than in having the .ini extension)<br>
then you laptop got a new name since you set up Cactus and you will<br>
need to re-run `simfactory/bin/sim setup-silent` once more. It should<br>
(just above the SUMMARY output) say something along the lines of:<br>

<br>
* take a look at the ini file mentioned, and look for the "optionlist"<br>
entry. There should be a file of that name in<br>
simfactory/mdb/optionlists and that should contain the correct<br>
gfortran in its F90 entry<br></blockquote><div><font color="#0000ff">The optionlist mentioned is : </font>optionlist = generic.cfg</div><div><font color="#0000ff">I have also attached this optionlist.

If you laptop does indeed change names, you can force simfactory to use<br>
a specific name by creating a file $HOME/.hostname and writing the<br>
desired machine name to it (eg <a href="http://gdd6l52n-ofc.ncsa.illinois.edu" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">gdd6l52n-ofc.ncsa.illinois.edu</a> in my<br>
example above). You can also try and pass `--machine<br>
<a href="http://gdd6l52n-ofc.ncsa.illinois.edu" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">gdd6l52n-ofc.ncsa.illinois.edu</a>` (for example) to each simfactory<br>
command which has the same effect (or at least should).<br>
<br>
If any of these things turn out to be not true, could you include the<br>
full output from `setup-silent` (text, not a screenshot please) as well<br>
as the ini file and cfg files (machine definition and option list),<br>
please? <br>
<br>
Also which package manager you are using (homebrew or macports) as well<br>
as the output from `which gfortran-13` <span style="font-variant-ligatures:no-common-ligatures;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.9);color:rgb(47,255,18);font-family:"Andale Mono";font-size:14px">/opt/homebrew/bin/gfortran-13</span>or `which gfortran-mp-13` <span style="font-variant-ligatures:no-common-ligatures;background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.9);color:rgb(47,255,18);font-family:"Andale Mono";font-size:14px">gfortran-mp-13 not found</span> as</blockquote>

Finally of course, sometimes the easiest way to clear out mysterious<br>
errors is to wipe Cactus (`rm -rf ~/Cactus`) and start from scratch (so<br>
that no lingering options are left behind).<br></blockquote><div><font color="#0000ff">I tried this and had the same problem.</font></div><div><br></div><div><font color="#0000ff">I have also now tried installing VMWare and creating an Ubuntu virtual machine but I could not get Jupyter Notebook to install on my 65bitArm version and my shell experience is really patchy.
