[Bug]: SIGSEGV crash when trying to run the LUE tutorial game_of_life example on a Macbook M3 (macOS 15.3)

[robknapen]

Describe the bug

Conda install of LUE (0.3.9) seems to have worked, but then trying to run the game_of_life.py demo from the tutorial crashes with a SIGSEGV interrupt. Might be related to a missing libtcmalloc (dylib) library for the platform?

This is part of the crash log:

Hoi @robknapen ;-)

Thanks for reporting! This could be related to a known issue that we're actually trying to solve right now. Somehow the package builds and installs fine on macOS, but at runtime it crashes. Preloading tcmalloc, which should be installed as a dependency, doesn't seem to help.

I will let you know when we fixed the issue.

Thanks Kor :-)
