Parallel debugging on MacOS Sequoia

[gambka]

I need to debug a simulation that only hits a segfault when using a split-mesh. Once split, you have to run on the same number of processes as splits of the mesh. I follow the instructions here for parallel debugging and I'm running into issues with this command:

mpiexec -n 4 ./yourapp-dbg -i inputfile.i --start-in-debugger='sudo lldb'

After changing to myapp-dbg and the input file name of interest. I receive

sh: xterm: command not found
sh: xterm: command not found
sh: xterm: command not found
sh: xterm: command not found

and the simulation just continues in the terminal as a normal run of the dbg executable.

I think this is because --start-in-debugger uses xterm, however, on Sequoia if you do an echo $TERM it reports xterm-256color. Is there a way to use --start-in-debugger with xterm-256color instead of xterm?

Not that I know. Did you try aliasing xterm to xterm-256color?

That didn't work.

The issue here was due to an issue with the internally provided XQuartz installation upon upgrading from Sonoma to Sequoia as well as xterm not being properly added to the PATH. This can be closed.
