Graphviz failed to build on 10.8

[dlo]

This has been verified on another installation of Homebrew, so this isn't specific to my install.

works for me

[dlo]

Just tried again (after updating homebrew), still failing. :-/

If you want to gist some logs, follow the troubleshooting wiki, and include your brew doctor and brew --config outputs. Thanks.

You seem to have 80 unlinked kegs. Please explain.

[dlo]

I have no idea what I can explain. I just use homebrew as any normal user would, running brew install XYZ when I need things, and running brew link X when it says it needs to link something. Not sure what else I can say.

[dlo]

Is there a command I can run to link all my unlinked kegs?

[jacknagel]

Copy the list to the clipboard, run pbpaste | xargs brew link

[dlo]

$ pbpaste | xargs brew link
Error: ack has multiple installed versions

[dlo]

😢

[dlo]

If I then remove ack from the list, I see this:

$ pbpaste | xargs brew link
Error: cabextract has multiple installed versions

This is a separate issue, but there should probably be a built in command for this.

[dlo]

Strangely enough, graphviz is in that list of unbrewed kegs.

[dlo]

$ brew link graphviz
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/graphviz/2.26.3... 328 symlinks created

I am really confused right now. Actually, now I remember, I unlinked when it told me I had to when trying to install the updated version. So back to square one.

[dlo]

$ for i in `pbpaste`; do brew link $i; done

is working like a charm. I'll post back here when it finishes.

[dlo]

Here is my updated brew doctor: https://gist.github.com/4048525

Join the club :-)

You may just want to wipe /usr/local and start again. Often it's quicker than trying to fix things, but it's up to you. We could try to debug this more, but it's not obvious that anything is wrong. You can link each one of those excluding ones that make an error. Then brew rm -f appthatmakeserror and install it again.

[dlo]

Might be less traumatic to install in a another directory first to see if a new setup doesn't have the same issues, before wiping out my existing kegs. I'll keep y'all posted.

[2bits]

I apologize for not suggesting moving /usr/local to /usr/local.bak and creating a new one. I agree that is easier and safer in case you want to restore.

sudo mv /usr/local /usr/local.bak
sudo mkdir /usr/local
sudo chown $USER:admin /usr/local
chmod 775 /usr/local
cd /usr/local
and install Homebrew again.

@dlo Any news here before Thanksgiving?

[mckk]

I think I have the same problem, but no of the linking issues in brew doctor.

I went through most of the recommendations on the troubleshooting page (I think all of the relevant ones).
Anyone has any ideas?

[dlo]

I ended up getting a new computer. Not because I couldn't install graphviz. It was just old.

[dlo]

Needless to say, I couldn't figure it out, and resetting /usr/local didn't fix it.

[adamv]

ld: library not found for -lpng12 wonder where png12 is coming from here.

[adamv]

Closing because...I guess the new computer fixed the OP's problem.
