gimp2 (2.10.34_7) – M1 Sonoma bug with “SuiteSparse_...” package ?

[sylvainsab (Sylvain)]

Cannot launch GIMP anymore, when I was glad to find a way to use it thanks to MacPorts since brew did not allow on latest ARM arch. The bug has happened shortly during the northern hemisphere summer but went away, yet it came again. Every once in a while I will use the following alias to update my system: alias u='brew update && brew upgrade ; sudo port selfupdate && sudo port upgrade outdated'

The port that matters to me is GIMP but the bug seems to come from a dependency named after “SuiteSparse”, here is the sample output of the standalone command :

deleted old, very big log before command

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The log says:

:info:build ld: duplicate LC_RPATH '/opt/local/lib/libgcc' in '/opt/local/lib/libopenblas-r1.dylib'

There are other open tickets about this problem. This problem is new in Xcode 15.

Having both Homebrew and MacPorts installed on the same system is unsupported. They will interfere with one another.
