Error on M1 chip: ld: library not found for -lopenblas

[oneforalone]

I'm trying to run the example codes on my M1 mac mini. However, it does not work. The error message is:

error: linking with `cc` failed: exit status: 1

error: could not compile `plotpy-demo` due to previous error

But after i installed openblas lib via brew install openblas and set the LDFLAGS, it still did not work. Any ideas on how to make it work?

Hi there, unfortunately, I don't have an answer to this question; I'm sorry. I cannot test the issue on Mac. My only suggestion is to restart your computer to see if openblas works.
