It would seem that this failure under Xcode 11.2 beta 2 is due to the current patch dropping -fno-stack-check for Xcode 11.2 in anticipation of a fix.
# Workaround for test failure :- # > ./sblat2 < ./sblat2.dat # Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference. # Current information is that this should be fixed in Xcode 11.2 if { ([vercmp ${os.major} 19] >= 0) && ([vercmp $xcodeversion 11.2] < 0) } { if {[string match clang ${configure.compiler}]} { configure.cc-append -fno-stack-check } } So this would seem to rule out OpenBLAS as the source of the pymol crashes under python2.7 with the QT interface as, under Xcode 11.1, OpenBLAS already built with -fno-stack-check. Perhaps the problem is in python2.7 when -fstack-check is used?
