Exec Format Error in Example Notebook 1

[richard-chen169]

I am on an iMac (version 12.7.2) with a 4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7. I installed Py_DSSATTools using pip in a virtual environment and tried running through the Example 1 (Basics) python notebook. All of the code runs fine until code block 15, where the following code is run. dssat.run( soil=soil, weather=wth, crop=crop, management=man, ) This gives me the error which seems to be an issue with the OS compatibility.

OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error: '/Users/richard/miniconda3/envs/dssat/lib/python3.12/site-packages/DSSATTools/static/bin/dscsm048'

Is Py_DSSATTools compatible with MacOS? If so, are there any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Hi. Thanks for reporting the issue. Unfortunately I have not tested the library for MacOS so I don't think it'll work. To be honest I don't know if anyone has successfully compiled DSSAT on mac.

Thanks for replying. Do you know if it runs on both linux and windows systems then?

It definitively runs on Linux. It runs on Windows although I have not tested the latest release for Windows. I recommend using it on Linux. If you have a Windows machine the best option is to install WSL and run it there.

I got this same error on my RaspberryPi 4

I guess it couldn't run on ARM cpu, i run it on x86 arch works

Yes, I have never tested it on a Raspberry, probably it won't in an ARM cpu. Thanks for sharing your experience!, it would be interesting to have this working in a ARM cpu.
