An error occurred during the installation of garfield++ on mac M1

First time installing Garfield++for learning. Previously, gsl and cmake were installed through brew install, xcode14 was installed in the app store, and root6.28.04 was also installed. But I am currently unable to handle the following error.

I guess @hschindl can help.

thanks for your@ :face_holding_back_tears:

Hi,
I suspect there is a mismatch between the compiler/C++ standard you are using to build Garfield++ and the one that was used to build your ROOT installation. Make sure you are using a ROOT installation that is consistent with your compiler.
