Hi, I try to install paraview (tag: v5.12.0-RC3) on Mac.
The code is ok to build, but I got this error when I execute the executable file:

$ ./bin/paraview.app/Contents/MacOS/paraview

Abort trap: 6

This is the path of my python3

zw1@MAC132276 3.9$ ls
Headers        Python3        Resources      _CodeSignature bin            include        lib            share
zw1@MAC132276 3.9$ pwd
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.9

This is the command to build the paraview

cmake -GNinja -DPARAVIEW_USE_PYTHON=ON -DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI=ON -DVTK_SMP_IMPLEMENTATION_TYPE=OPENMP -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../../src/paraview

It seems that the paraview could not find the right path of the python3 during the build process, could you provide some help about it?

Thanks!

I found that the rpath of the executable is

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.9/lib

It can work if I reset it to

-Wl,-rpath,/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks

when compiling the executable file.

Yes, rpath management is a distributor/packager thing. We cannot possibly know all possible end-user layouts to set up rpaths properly without external input.
