macOS Monterey - Install Scipy Error "No lapack/blas resources found"

Question

I have installed pyenv on Mac using brew install pyenv. I want to run a python project which requires installation of scipy==1.5.4. I tried installing it using the command pip3 install scipy==1.5.4 but I got an error No lapack/blas resources found.

To solve that I ran the following commands as suggested in the error and other solutions.

brew install openblas

Followed by:

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openblas/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openblas/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/openblas/lib/pkgconfig"

Next I did

brew install lapack

Followed by

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/lapack/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/lapack/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/lapack/lib/pkgconfig"

Now that I've installed both blas and lapack I expected the error to go away but I am still facing similar error. How can I solve this?

I suggest you try `conda`. In particular, if you are using a Apple Silicon-based machine, you can use miniforge: https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge — foglerit, Feb 07 '22 at 17:18

We had a similar issue when upgrading a Django app to use Python 3.8. The solution for us came out of this github thread. We're running on Big Sur so not sure if the same fix would work for you, but before you run your package install run export SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT=1. Again, not sure if this will solve in your context, but it worked for us.

I'm working on MacBookAir (M1 2020) right now and this command worked for me:

export SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT=1
