[Python] Python error trying to install gensim on MacOS

trying to install gensim on MacBook Pro (i7, Sonoma 14.7.1) using PyCharm (Python@3.13). I've tried several suggestions from stack, github and other sources but none worked. Based on what little I know, it seems that it cannot find openblas, even though it is installed. But it is installed and openBLAS. Is this just a strict case sensitivity or something else? How do I resolve this? Also, when I try to open the full log, path to file does not exist.

Here is the output in the PyCharm Console:
