Description
I need to install quantuminspire on a new MacOS machine. I am getting this error:
I tried with quantuminspire2 and quantuminspire from your GitHub.
I downloaded and unzipped the package and used pipx. Tried many options and combinations. I also tried inside conda and with no conda in a new plain Python environment. Always get this error:
(paulisMIDI) iccmr@ICCMRs-Mac-mini quantuminspire-master % pipx install .
Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file:
/Users/iccmr/.local/pipx/logs/cmd_2025-05-10_13.06.36_pip_errors.log
pip seemed to fail to build package:
symengine>=0.11
Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement libqasm==0.6.7 (from opensquirrel) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for libqasm==0.6.7
Error installing quantuminspire from spec '/Users/iccmr/quantuminspire-master'.
I also used 'pipx quantuminspire'. Nothing.
The problem seems to be libqasm ?!?
Can you advise, please?
I use MacOS, 15.41. Python 3.10
Thank you
Eduardo Miranda

Research direction
Start by reproducing pipx install . for quantuminspire on macOS 15 with Python 3.10, then inspect the package dependency declarations around opensquirrel and libqasm==0.6.7. Done means the reported installation path has a reproducible resolution or a documented, verified compatibility result.
