I'm trying to compile a fortran code on macOS Ventura v 13.1 (22C65) on my MacBook pro (M1) using gfortran.

However, I get the following error when linking:

ld: unsupported tapi file type '!tapi-tbd' in YAML file '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX13.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.tbd' for architecture arm64
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I have tried

brew upgrade llvm
brew upgrade gcc
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
xcode-select --install

and also to install a downgrade version from https://developer.apple.com/download/more/, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

To start, I recommend that your read An Apple Library Primer, which explains a lot of the backstory.

Errors like this indicate that you have a mismatch between the linker and the SDK. The SDK contains stub libraries (.tbd files) that the linker doesn’t understand. That should never happen with Apple tools because our tools and SDKs are rev-locked. That is, the Xcode 14.1 command-line tools include, and only support, the macOS 13.0 SDK. Something in your setup is trying to ‘cross the streams’ but it’s hard to say what given the number of third-party bits you have in play.

Do you happen to use Anaconda? I had a similar problem, and noticed that without condo base environment, everything worked fine. Here is the related post.
