Import Errors - ImportError: dlopen()

[cburgdorfer]

Hello,

I've just installed CATT via pipx on a brand new M1 Mac right off a reset. I get this error:

johndoe@Johns-Mac-mini-M1 ~ % catt
Traceback (most recent call last):

I should have Python3:

brew install python3
Warning: python@3.10 3.10.7 is already installed and up-to-date.
To reinstall 3.10.7, run:
  brew reinstall python@3.10

Do you have any suggestion where I was going wrong?

Thanks a lot for your help! Much appreciated!

Hm, it looks like a protobuf issue on the M1 perhaps? I think the protobuf repo would be the place to file the issue, as it doesn't seem directly related to catt.
