11 years ago Let’s get the obvious stuff out of the way, first. Let’s be sure you’re running the latest version, since it has been updated recently, by running brew update && brew upgrade brew-cask. You should be now at version 0.14.1.
Do you have that error with every cask, or just some?

11 years ago I might be seeing the same problem.
This is my first time using brew-cask (awesome), which I used to install firefox. Firefox didn't appear in my Applications folder, and running brew cask linkapps spit out (even after @vitorgalvao 's suggestion):
$ brew cask linkapps
Error: undefined method `basename' for nil:NilClass
Please report this bug:

11 years ago Application links should appear (by default) in ~/Applications (the one inside your home directory), not /Applications (the one at the root); where did you look for it? They are also linked by default, so there should be no need to run brew cask linkapps unless you’ve unlinked/deleted them.
Please paste the output of brew cask list and brew doctor, so we can examine it.

11 years ago Sorry, you're totally right about the apps showing up in ~/Applications. Thanks!
brew cask linkapps isn't necessary for me now, but in case you're still curious:
$ brew cask list
firefox hip-chat rdio
$ brew doctor
Your system is ready to brew.

11 years ago Same issue here:
Only happens with The Unarchiver.app (the-unarchiver) which I've removed from cache, uninstalled and reinstalled many times to no effect.
==> Linking The Unarchiver.app to /Users/work/Applications/The Unarchiver.app

Warning: "config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
`./configure` scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
software packages are installed, and what additional flags to use when
compiling and linking.
Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew provided
script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python-config
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python2.7-config
Warning: Your Homebrew is not installed to /usr/local
You can install Homebrew anywhere you want, but some brews may only build
correctly if you install in /usr/local. Sorry!

11 years ago brew cask linkapps is no longer with us, and i think we have a few other issues to track the remaining issues we have with linking, so i'm going to close this one for now. :sleeping:
If I move IntelliJ out of the cask dir and rerun I get the same failure for another app.
