Hi, I just updated PI on my MBP - 10.8.5 - 2.6GHz i7 - 16GB

I got this error message

several module are not present any longer

Geometry for istance…


I dowloaded a new fresh version
I restarted PI in uninstall mode (ctrl*alt)

the repository version worked fine
as soon I allowed the updates to be installed the problem raised again

thank you for any help (may be some of the updates are the culprits)

Hi Riccardo,

the ImageIntegration and Geometry modules have been updated recently. "___sincos_stret" is an LLVM compiler optimization. It seems that the latest updates to Apple's Xcode C++ compiler have changed the way these optimizations are applied and implemented. Despite the fact that we always set OS X 10.8 as the target deployment system when we build modules for the Mac platform, it seems that recently built modules no longer work on OS X 10.8. Anyway, we only support OS X 10.10 and 10.11 officially. macOS 10.12 is also supported unofficially by version 1.8.4.1199 of PixInsight.

So the only solution to this problem is to upgrade your machine to OS X 10.11 or macOS 10.12. Sorry for not providing a more comfortable solution.

Thank you Juan,
…what if I swap the new modules with the old Image Integration and Geometry modules?

(I always zip save the old version before updating

Hi Riccardo,

That will work, but you'll lose new functionality and bug fixes implemented in the latest updates. More importantly, the next version of PixInsight won't work on anything older than OS X 10.10; perhaps 10.11. That's how the world of Apple and OS X is: We can only provide compatibility with at most the two most recent versions of the macOS operating system, and sometimes even that is a big challenge for me.
