I am trying to compile a program using a self-compiled GCC-4.7.1 on Mac OS 10.8.2. The program uses openMP and the compilation succeeds; however, when I try to run the program,

Answer 1

I had exactly the same problem too. And I am new to openMP, and my skill is not that good to use the solution offered by Michal Fapso. I solve this problem by using

brew link --overwrite gcc

and the problem is solved!

Maybe you can try to reinstall gcc to your Mac.

Answer 2

I had exactly the same problem. In my case it was caused by linking against a library (I don't remember which one) of an older version of gcc installed by XCode, which was in /usr/lib. When I corrected it to link against the newer gcc library of the version I used for compiling (in /usr/local) this error was fixed.

So just check your built executable and all the libraries it is linked with using

otool -L EXECUTABLE_OR_DYLIB

And if you find anything linked with a library of an older gcc, fix that.
