what chipset do you have? Intel or Mac?
I have a MacBook Pro with Apple M2 Max chip running MacOS Sonoma 14.0
You certainly can - I have WRF4.5 compiled on my M2 Max. I found the flags needed to be slightly different as there were issues getting both NetCDF libraries to compile properly. Here's what I used for my environment, then you can follow the main compilation tutorial normally:
A couple of items to note:
1. Installing MPICH via homebrew was the only way I could bypass some of the Apple Silicon errors for MPI.
2. I had to manually create the grib2 dir for some reason.
3. Replace <dir_path_to_libraries> to the full path to wherever you store your libraries.
Hope it works out!

Hi,
I was trying to install WRFV4.5 in M3pro and getting this error while compiling.
gcc -O0 -c y.tab.c
scan.y:37:12: fatal error: malloc.h: No such file or directory
37 | #include <malloc.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [y.tab.o] Error 1
Please find my zshrc and log file attached.
Thank you.

Thank you William.Hatheway for your response.
I had already downloaded gcc from homebrew and linked it. I think I have messed up with homebrew and macports.
I was using flex and yacc from macports installation. Since libiconv was making some issue, I removed the libiconv from macports installation (/opt/local).
I don't know why, I couldn't find yacc inside homebrew, so I linked bison and now there is a permission issue!!
Please find portion from log showing error :
compile kpp
/opt/homebrew/opt/bison -d scan.y
make[1]: /opt/homebrew/opt/bison: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [y.tab.c] Error 1
I tried sudo ./compile em_real and still not working. Any idea about this?
Thank you,
Musaid

possible that this is an issue with both macports and homebrew operating on the same system.
If possible can you remove one or the other ( if they aren't needed for other programs) and see if you can install them again?
