Cannot find libgfortran, etc., on macOS when installed via pip

[anowacki]

Thanks for maintaining stripy and apologies for the following limited bug report. I don't know much about Python packaging or wheel distribution I'm afraid.

I have tried installing stripy via pip install (and via Poetry), but when I do this I'm unable to load the dynamic libraries for the Fortran runtime:

$ pip install stripy

It appears that the location of libgfortran (plus the other linked GCC libraries libquadmath and libgcc_s) relies on them being installed by Homebrew on macOS, whereas I have them installed elsewhere.

I don't know much about what might be possible, but I guess there are a few ways of approaching this:

1. Require and document that these libraries need to be installed in those locations. That wouldn't be my favourite thing as I use a different package manager than Homebrew and others may do too.
2. Distribute these libraries or rely on another package which distributes them, and code the linker path into them.
3. Use install_name_tool to fix the linker paths (with @rpath?)

I'm happy to help diagnose things if that helps.

Just to be clear, this is where _stripack.cpython-38-darwin.so is looking for the libraries:

$ otool -L [redacted]/site-packages/stripy/_stripack.cpython-38-darwin.so
[redacted]/site-packages/stripy/_stripack.cpython-38-darwin.so:
	/usr/local/opt/gcc@10/lib/gcc/10/libgfortran.5.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0, current version 6.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1311.0.0)
	/usr/local/lib/gcc/10/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
	/usr/local/opt/gcc@10/lib/gcc/10/libquadmath.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)

(libSystem is fine.)
