Compilation fails using Chapel on a mac

Using a stock install of Chapel (via Homebrew) on a Mac running Big Sur. Tried to compile one of the example programs:

chpl /usr/local/Cellar/chapel/1.27.0/libexec/examples/hello.chpl

followed with

mv: rename /var/folders/81/9s9zv6450td9kgh_znllq52000037c/T//chpl-username.deleteme-nJkMMc/hello.tmp to hello: No such file or directory
error: mv /var/folders/81/9s9zv6450td9kgh_znllq52000037c/T//chpl-username.deleteme-nJkMMc/hello.tmp hello
error: Make Binary - Linking

Looks like a simple fix, but would appreciate suggestions. (And annoyingly, am trying to (eventually!) do a local compile of a package I contributed to)

R.

Solution

  • As noted and verified in the comments above, this seems to have been a recently discovered issue in our code base that can be worked around in homebrew for the time being by doing a brew update. It ought to be fixed in a more principled manner in Chapel 1.28.0 and onwards. If others see this failure mode going forward, please consider opening a GitHub issue on the Chapel repository so that we can help you work through it.
