brew install irssi fails #4823

Closed q closed 13 years ago

q commented 13 years ago

Every time i try to install irssi, i get the following: Error: Failed executing: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/irssi/0.8.15 --with-perl=yes --with-perl-lib=site --with-bot --with-proxy --enable-ssl --enable-ipv6

I've attached my brew doctor and brew install output in this gist: https://gist.github.com/882365

This is a week old machine, homebrew was the first thing i installed on it. Since then i've also installed git, the official python 2.7 install, virtualbox, and mercurial. (I think this is it but tbh I might be missing a few external apps i installed).

"Hardware: 8-core 64-bit dunno"

What CPU are you running?

adamv commented 13 years ago

also: you need to put "/usr/local/bin" head of "/usr/bin" in your $PATH, so the proper (Homebrew's) pkg-config gets picked up, so this brew can find glib's .pc file.

It's a brand new macbook pro, 64bit 10.6.7, 4gb ram, 2.3ghz quad core i7.

As far as putting /usr/local/bin adhead of /usr/bin in my path, why isn't this done by the brew installer if its needed? Also: whats the best practice to do this?

The best way to do this is to put a ".bashrc" file in your home directory with this line: https://github.com/adamv/dotfiles/blob/master/bashrc#L16

Homebrew doesn't do this as it doesn't touch your dot-files.

Looks like we ought to update our CPU detection. Sweet new laptop.

awesome, this worked! coming from linux where package managers rule all, brew has been a lifesaver in the switch. ty for the quick help on this.

You're welcome!

I'm seeing this issue too, doing brew install -v irssi gets me Error: Failed executing: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/irssi/0.8.15 --with-perl=yes --with-perl-lib=site --with-bot --with-proxy --enable-ssl --enable-ipv6 because configure: error: GLIB is required to build irssi.

things of note: Hardware: quad-core 64-bit dunno CC: /usr/bin/cc => /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 CXX: /usr/bin/c++ => /usr/bin/c++-4.2 LD: /usr/bin/cc => /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 CFLAGS: -O3 -w -pipe CXXFLAGS: -O3 -w -pipe MAKEFLAGS: -j4 GCC-4.0: build 5494 GCC-4.2: build 5664 OS X: 10.6.4 HOMEBREW_VERSION: 0.8 HEAD: 6a6067668b1452c4d78ce92eba51fb929886782c

brew missing returns nothing. brew doctor (handy tool!) returns no problems.
