to install pari/gp, and gp2c, on a recent mac I found that a better path,
after having Xcode updated to the most recent version, is
to install homebrew first
 | |
and then install the missing packages that the Configure
step in pari/gp compilation process require.
For sure one needs
gcc, gmp, readline, bison …
and maybe others that I do not recall
(I do not change machine so often that
I have to re-start the whole procedure
from scratch, and, unfortunately I did not write it down
the whole procedure).
The command is something like
brew install gcc gmp readline
Then one re-run ./Configure and see if there
is some other packages that are missing.
There might be some linking problem to solve
at this point.
Hope this helps.
Best regards
Alessandro

I downloaded Xcode then the source from git and switched branches to 2.15. I also installed readline using the FAQ online and configure seems to have worked. Then when I ran make install there was an error with bison? The pari packages all seem to compile and then get the message:

Hi!
You need to install a newer version of bison.
The version shipped with macos is about 20 years old.
Cheers,
