Segmentation fault 11 after install on MacOS 13.6.7

[andreasnossum]

Dear developers,

I have problems installing CRPropa on my system

• Operating system: MacOS Ventura 13.6.7
• Laptop
• Python version: 3.12.5 (conda environment)
• Swig version: 4.2.1
• Cmake version: 3.30.2

Did you install CRPropa from git or download a release?
I installed version 3f5d189 from git

Things that I tried before asking for help:
I read and followed the installation instructions at https://crpropa.github.io/CRPropa3/ ; especially the additional instructions for Mac OS (i.e. install LLVM with Homebrew and specify the LLVM and Python paths manually). I also looked through the previous issues regarding installation on Mac OS but could not find a fix that worked.

Problem
All installation steps with cmake run successfully, however, when importing crpropa in python I get the Segmentation fault 11 error and python crashes. Also, five tests fail when running make test.

Can you import python? python -c "from crpropa import *
Test-10 failing is not too problematic. We see that happening from time to time on OSX. The others are all python tests if I remember correctly. So I guess something went wrong with your python linking.

I tried running the command, but got the same segmentation fault as before:

(crpropa) dhcp-10-22-137-86:build andreasnossum$ python -c "from crpropa import *"
Segmentation fault: 11
