Hm! No ideas, but I'll look into it! Thanks for letting us know.

Same issue here. Mac 14.2.1 M1. Python 3.12.2

[geofftench]

Updating the lxml dependency from version 4.9.2 to 4.9.4 should resolve the issue. The installation completed successfully when I manually updated the dependency in the formula.

[anjakefala]

I'll quickly make that update! Thanks for testing.

[anjakefala]

I made the change! Can you please confirm that the build is working?

It seems it's not reflected in homebrew yet.
If you can provide me instructions I can test if it works for you.

@anjakefala I reinstalled Visidata through Homebrew using your updated Formula, and it worked as expected. Thanks for making the update so quickly :)

[geofftench]

@w4nderlust You could use the following commands to install the Homebrew package with the updated formula:

git clone https://github.com/visidata/homebrew-vd.git
cp homebrew-vd/Formula/visidata.rb /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/saulpw/homebrew-vd/Formula/
brew install saulpw/vd/visidata

You may need to change the destination path, as I seem to recall that Homebrew uses a different base path on macOS on Apple ARM processors.

[w4nderlust]

Confirm it worked for me too. Thank you!
