Installation Issue on Mac (Ventura 13.3.1)(M1 Max)

I’ve run into an installation from source code issue in which the cxxabi.h header file cannot be found. There are several versions of this file on my computer, e.g.

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX13.3.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/cxxabi.h

I am running python 3.11.3.

The relevant part of the build output is:

%>sudo cmake --build .  --target install 

[ 47%] Generating G__Core.cxx, ../lib/Core.pcm
While building module 'Core':

This is a known issue (just search on this forum) that will be fixed soon. See also

Doh! I realized shortly after I posted.

Is there a way to get the source code for the nightlies, rather than the precompiled versions? I believe I am using a different python version that the pre-compiled version, so I need to build from source.

(I did see a posting on this, but it lead me to a point where the git server was asking for a username … I am assuming that it is not the username for this forum).

You can use git to checkout the master branch (use https://github.com/root-project/root.git)
