    Posted by Pooas on September 1, 2024 at 1:04 pm

    I'm encountering an error when trying to load a rand.q kdb+ script from https://github.com/kxcontrib/optionpricing The error message is:

    evaluation error: dlopen(/opt/homebrew/anaconda3/envs/kdb/q/m64/rand.so, 0x0002): tried: '/opt/homebrew/anaconda3/envs/kdb/q/m64/rand.so' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/opt/homebrew/anaconda3/envs/kdb/q/m64/rand.so' (no such file), '/opt/homebrew/anaconda3/envs/kdb/q/m64/rand.so' (no such file) [3] /Users/pooyac/Developer/KDB/BSModel/optionpricing/q/rand.q:1: sobolrand::rand 2:(sobolrand;2) /;1).

    
    

    This error seems to be related to the rand.so file, which is not found in the expected location. I'm using a Homebrew-installed Anaconda environment for kdb+.

    **MY DEVICE IS M2 MACBOOK**

    My question is:

    How can I fix this error and ensure that the rand.so file is loaded correctly? Is there a specific location where I should place this file, or are there any configuration settings I need to adjust?

    To create the shared object files for the number generators and distribution functions the below must be run:

    make && make install && make clean

        The repo that you are using is behind the original one exactly on one commit that should fix MAC installation.

        Use this repo below, install all dependencies, set QHOME.
        https://github.com/dmorgankx/optionpricing

        Unfortunately, I can’t guarantee that it will work with your processor, but at least the installation problem will be solved
