Problems reading .msaio on Mac

[karenjgonzalez]

Hi,

I have installed several versions of prody, from the 1.1 until the latest 2.4 on a Mac M2, and all of them have problems executing the parseMSA module. When I install using pip it tells me that it cannot find .msaio, and when I install manually it tells me that the architecture is incompatible with arm64 as shown below:

from .msaio import parseFasta as parser

ImportError: dlopen(/opt/miniconda3/envs/entropy_env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ProDy-1.11-py3.9-macosx-11.0-arm64.egg/prody/sequence/msaio.cpython-39-darwin.so, 0x0002): tried: '/opt/miniconda3/envs/entropy_env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ProDy-1.11-py3.9-macosx-11.0-arm64.egg/prody/sequence/msaio.cpython-39-darwin.so' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e' or 'arm64')), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/opt/miniconda3/envs/entropy_env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ProDy-1.11-py3.9-macosx-11.0-arm64.egg/prody/sequence/msaio.cpython-39-darwin.so' (no such file), '/opt/miniconda3/envs/entropy_env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ProDy-1.11-py3.9-macosx-11.0-arm64.egg/prody/sequence/msaio.cpython-39-darwin.so' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e' or 'arm64'))
