Can't load Xgboost on Apple Silicon

[Lukpier]

Hi all,

I’m trying to use the java api for Xgboost for making use of some pretrained Xgboost models. I’m using the new Mac book pro with m1 chipset.
Unfortunately, I did not succeeded in loading the Xgboost library:

Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /private/var/folders/98/0kprbmp558bg3ck2smxfbg200000gn/T/libxgboost4j15518660024770728892.dylib: dlopen(/private/var/folders/98/0kprbmp558bg3ck2smxfbg200000gn/T/libxgboost4j15518660024770728892.dylib, 1): no suitable image found. Did find:

the python version I’m using is the 3.8.8 arm64 installed with anaconda.
I already installed libomp with brew and tried to locally build the library, but the result was the same.

Can you help me in any manner?

Thanks in advance!

We don’t yet support Apple Silicon. You should try building XGBoost from the source.

The steps I used to compile XGBoost4J from source on an Apple Silicon mac are here.

Xgboost on apple m1?

Install the ARM version of homebrew (which installs into /opt/homebrew), then the brew versions of python, libomp. I then installed the Azul Zulu 8 java ARM port and Apache Maven. Then it compiles just fine. What kind of errors are you getting?

It works just fine.
