+1 Seeing the same issue on 10.12.6 w/latest homebrew.

Looks like this is the issue: https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools/issues/389

[dunn]

And looks like that in turn is related to https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools/issues/372.

Not a lot we can do on our end until the bug is patched.

+1 Same issue on 10.13.6.

Looks like politza/pdf-tools#389 and politza/pdf-tools#372 have both been marked resolved. I just tried to install pdf-tools via brew and am getting the same error message reported earlier. Is there still an issue w/ the pdf-tools code or has brew not been updated yet?

[dunn]

There hasn't been a new release of pdf-tools since those were resolved. Until there is, you can install the master branch with brew install --HEAD pdf-tools.

[Nathanael8]

It seems like this is still an issue, since I got the same error when I tried to install pdf-tools.

brew install --HEAD pdf-tools didn't cause an error.
