Installing a package and getting error - ld: library not found for -lSystem

Question

I'm trying to install a package through ifort on Mac since it requires ifort to compile and run the code and I am and getting error

ld: library not found for -lSystem

I don't know if oneAPI comes with that library.

ifort -O3 -warn all -fpp -free -assume byterecl -heap-arrays -nogen-interface -static-intel  /opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/latest/mac/compiler/include generate_inpmat.F90 -o generate_inpmat

Does “system.a” or “system.so” exist in mixed case? or lowercase? And does it live somewhere that -I Can point to? — Holmz, Jul 13 '21 at 02:25
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56156520/gfortran-error-ld-library-not-found-for-lsystem-when-trying-to-compile Do you have Xcode installed? How exactly did you install oneAPI? — Vladimir F Героям слава, Jul 13 '21 at 05:48
I resolved the error by pointing the code to the correct library path. It seems that oneapi library now installs at the default path — manish, Jul 14 '21 at 04:12
@manish could you add your resolution as an answer as it may help others facing the issue — ArunJose, Jul 19 '21 at 06:32
After I updated the XCode CLI tools, clearing the intermediate CMake files fixed this error for me (`rm -rf build/`) — Nathan Lafferty, Mar 07 '23 at 17:40

I corrected this error by pointing the correct library path. The correct path is at

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib

In place of

/opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/latest/mac/compiler/include
