I first installed octave through brew with the instruction on the office website. One day when I entered brew update && brew upgrade, octave started to upgrade but one error occurred said
You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in your
PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one. If you want to use this
script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it) or change
your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do). See the --help
output for more details.
So I entered brew cask install mactex to install tex and added the Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Programs/texbin to the PATH, when I run tex, it correctly processed:

Then I run brew upgrade but the same error occurred again.
I realized that the --without-docs argument may fix this problem but if I want to install docs (since I have already installed tex) what should I do?
I had similar problem while installing another program (not octave) and after looking around I found that I needed to install TeTex (http://www.tug.org/teTeX/) or TexLive, however I decided to install TexLive because TeTex is not mantained anymore...
For me it worked after installing Texlive on the basic configuration. You can follow the instructions over here:

I did an brew upgrade and afterwards keep getting an bad address error.
Tried to uninstall/reinstall everything, but cant figure out what is the problem.
bash: /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/go: Bad address
Im new to terminal and linux, so all advice is welcome.
I tried brew doctor. It says "No developer tools installed." and after i 'brew install gcc' it says gcc is already installed and up-to-date.
Use the official Go installation:
Go: Download and install
For full support, avoid OS package managers, Homebrew, and so forth.
First, remove any previous installations by other methods, for example, Homebrew.
Little late, but this post was a suggestion for me when I ran into a similar issue with Go and Brew.
When Brew updates the version of Go (1.19.3 -> 1.19.5 in my case) that it is providing, for some reason it does not correctly update the GOROOT environment varaible. Correcting the value of the variable fixed the issue for me.
export GOROOT=/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/go/<go_version>/libexec
# example
export GOROOT=/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/go/1.19.5/libexec
I'm using MACOS M1, and started to install brew under ARM. Then at the other day, I installed some formula under x86.
When I run a command
brew doctor
And I got this message
Some of Homebrew's bottles (binary packages) can only be used with the default
prefix (/usr/local).
You will encounter build failures with some formulae.
Please create pull requests instead of asking for help on Homebrew's GitHub,
Twitter or any other official channels. You are responsible for resolving
any issues you experience while you are running this
unsupported configuration.
How to change the prefix to /usr/local/?
When I run which -a brew I got this result
/opt/homebrew/bin/brew
/usr/local/bin/brew
Thanks in advance.
I had the same issue because I did not installed the homebrew from the local path on my terminal.
I just uninstalled the homebrew, installed it again (from the local path this time) and it is fine now.
To uninstall Homebrew, run the uninstall script from the HomeBrew/install repository.
I used brew install GDL. The install was completed, but once I try to use GDL, it says " command not found: gdl".
I used "which gdl", but still can't be located. I tried reinstalling GDL via brew, but same error.
I tried changing the directory to the folder where brew installed GDL, but no luck either.
I looked through my other compilers and those are saved into bin, while GDL is not (if that's relevant at this point).
Anything will help!
If the intention was to install GNU Data Language, please try installing gnudatalanguage from homebrew-science: https://github.com/brewsci/homebrew-science/blob/master/Formula/gnudatalanguage.rb
UPDATE: Solved with the solution here
I have spent the better part of my day trying to get ImageMagick to work with Grunt, with no luck. Grunt seems to be okay, but ImageMagick not so much, even though I've run the test on ImageMagick.org to make sure that it's installed correctly (I used HomeBrew for the install).
I get this error when trying to run a task:
Warning: Command failed: identify: unable to load module
'/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.9.2-4/lib/ImageMagick//modules-
Q16/coders/jpeg.la': file not found # error/module.c/OpenModule/1300.
identify: no decode delegate for this image format 'JPEG' #
error/constitute.c/ReadImage/501.
I've tried the solutions here and here, but none of them have helped.
(FYI I'm new to using the command line.)
Help?
As with any homebrew problem, I would suggest you run
brew doctor
first, to try and sort things out. It is an excellent diagnosis tool.
Now, to your specific problem... mmmm... the /opt/X11 part of your error message worries me because homebrew installs in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/Cellar so your ImageMagick should not be looking anywhere in /opt at all. I guess you have installed freetype via MacPorts or some method other than homebrew.
I would suggest you install the freetype stuff using homebrew, i.e.
brew install freetype
Then I would suggest uninstalling any other freetype stuff you have installed any other way. Finally, I would suggest you check your PATH environment variable and make it point to /usr/local/bin before anything in /opt. You will need to log out and back in for the new PATH to take effect - you can check your PATH like this:
echo $PATH
and change it by editing $HOME/.profile if you need to.
The homebrew version of freetype provides version 19 of the library and is therefore compatible with the homebrew ImageMagick version.
Also, I am a little disconcerted by the X11 part in your error message - modern Macs don't really use X11 any more and it doesn't ship with OSX. Let's see if the above ideas sort you out before worrying about that too much though - unless you know, and can say for sure, that you need X11.
I am trying to install ROOT (cern.root.ch). When I run ./configure , I get a message that libX11 is missing and must be installed.
I did some research and found that I need to install
) XQuartz (I already have the latest version.)
) Command line tools in Xcode.
I tried installing Command Line Tools from apple's developer website. The installation goes through smoothly but how do I know whether it has been installed? I still get libX11 missing error with root's configure command.
I also tried xcode-select --install and it once went through smoothly and then later again gives error saying this package is no longer maintained - or something of that sort.
I understand I may have multiple installations... But I am still facing the problem of not having libX11 and not being able to install ROOT.
Thanks,
Hershal.
This link and the one referenced in it suggests you use homebrew (brew) to install it
$ ruby <(curl -fsS https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)
$ brew doctor
Remember to add the Homebrew directory to your PATH by adding the directory (found with brew --prefix) to your .bashrc, .zshrc or whatever shell file you’re using (.bashrc is the OS X default). We’ll also add the XQuartz binaries to the PATH in case anything needs them in the future.
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:$PATH
Start a new Terminal session to pick up the changes.
Now that Homebrew is installed, we can use it to install the required dependencies. Each may take some time as Homebrew generally compiles from source.
$ brew install gfortran # Fortran compiler
$ brew install python # Python interpreter
$ brew install pcre # Regular Expressions library
$ brew install fftw # Fast Fourier Transforms
$ brew install cmake # Cross-platform make
install root
$ brew tap homebrew/science
$ brew install --with-cocoa root
You don't say whether you have installed XCode as well as the commandline tools but I think you will need it
