Question: How to install on macos 14.0 +

[NiTRoeSE]

Hi i followed the readme to install matrix-commander on a M1+ driven macbook.
I got the following error if i start matrix-commander after installation of all needed:

File "/opt/homebrew/bin/matrix-commander", line 5, in <module>
    from matrix_commander import main
  File "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/matrix_commander/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .matrix_commander import main
  File "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/matrix_commander/matrix_commander.py", line 51, in <module>

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ImportError: dlopen(/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/_libolm.abi3.so, 0x0002): symbol not found in flat namespace '__olm_error_to_string'

How i installed ?

1. brew install libolm dbus libmagic
2. pip3.11 install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/opt/homebrew/include/" --global-option="-L/opt/homebrew/lib/" matrix-commander

Hope someone can help, thanks in advanced ! :)

https://pypi.org/project/matrix-commander/ has 2 bullet points for installation on MacOS.

That page also refers to Issue #79 and Issue #103.

brew uninstall libolm dbus libmagic

Uninstall?

Where is file olm.h located on your hard disk? That gives you a hint which Include directory to use.

Maybe @KizzyCode can help us?

Maybe @johannes87 has some idea?

This was a copy mistake, in fact i run brew install ...
olm.h is located in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/libolm/3.2.15/include/olm/olm.h

found this topic wich had the same problem: matrix-org/olm#85
But the workaround mentioned didnt work.

Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help here 😕 – I don't use matrix commander/libolm on a regular base on macOS anymore and if I need it I just spin up a docker container (which works reasonably well in my usecase)
