Pm.sample fails with multiple errors on Mac M2

When running pm.sample() on my MacBook Air M2, I get the error as in the screenshot (also WARNING at the beginning):

I installed pymc using mamba with an environment.yml file.

Running “mamba list” shows me this:

Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Welcome!

In general, it is advisable to install PyMC using the official procedure described here. That being said, @aloctavodia may have a different recommendation to get that specific set of packages installed on your machine.

The warning you are getting upon import of PyMC suggests that the relevant C toolchain is not being install correctly and should be fixed before trying to do much of anything.

Namely installing a more recent version of pymc/pymc-bart/PyTensor may automatically solve all the problems

Following the official procedure wth adding “-c nodefaults” and setting “pymc=3.10.0”, I created a fresh environment. However, I still get the pytensor.tensor.blas WARNING as well as CompileError.

mamba list now looks like this:

I appreciate any suggestions

Just to rule out silly stuff, are you sure the notebook is running on the installed environment? Or alternatively you get the same error running pymc from a terminal?

I didn’t change anything but now everything (from terminal, pycharm, jupyter) works! I still get the WARNING regrading BLAS functions when I run with pycharm but not when I use terminal. Is it not a problem?

Anyway, thank you so much!

[Update] Running with terminal always works, but running with IDE as well as Jupyter is unstable, i.e. sometimes works but sometimes doesn’t. Can you think of a potential reason for this latency and differene between terminal and inconsistent runs with IDE?

My guess is you’re not accessing the correct environment from jupyter/pycharm. Check out if sys.executable is the same

PyMC-BART can be installed with conda, preliz not yet (I just opened an issue).
