Unable to find libprofiler (m1 macOS)

[ghost]

I am trying to use yep in my Macbook.

Actually, I wanted to use gperftools.

I installed google-perftools using brew.

% brew install google-perftools
% pkg-config --libs libprofiler
-L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gperftools/2.9.1_1/lib -lprofiler

When I tried to install yep by typing "python setup.py install", an error message appeared.

error: ImportError: Unable to find libprofiler, please make sure google-perftools is installed on your system

I thought that location of lib profiler in my computer could raise the error to install yep.

I also tried to run following: ctypes.util.find_library('profiler')

It could not find any libprofiler.

How can I fix my problem?

Thank you for reading.

I was facing this same issue when installing gperftools in the GitHub CI via brew. The solution I found here was to set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to the lib directory of the installed package, so the libprofiler library could be found by python, i.e.:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$(brew --cellar gperftools)/$(brew list --versions gperftools | tr ' ' '\n' | tail -1)/lib"
