@n0nick I assume https://github.com/neovim/homebrew-neovim/pull/222 should fix this, if linuxbrew works like homebrew.

Or maybe not: what is the process for linuxbrew to adopt homebrew's core fomulae?

[equal-l2]

We should just wait.

Excerpt from https://github.com/Linuxbrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md :

Homebrew is merged into Linuxbrew roughly once per week.

[n0nick]

Thanks @equal-l2, I did not know that about Linuxbrew.

The formula is now available https://github.com/Linuxbrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/neovim.rb - is it working properly for you ?

I'm having issues with this formula failing during the make install of mpack-1.0.6-0. I used brew gist-logs neovim from my machine running 17.04. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/3b2cc6abd48292fb4d72b96b43cbce98

It looks more related to jemalloc

cd /tmp/neovim-20170702-27379-136iz7a/build/runtime/pack/dist/opt/vimball && /tmp/neovim-20170702-27379-136iz7a/build/bin/nvim -u NONE -i NONE -e --headless -c helptags\ doc -c quit
<jemalloc>: Error in dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "pthread_create")

<jemalloc>: Error in dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "pthread_create")
Aborted (core dumped)

I would suggest to post an issue in the linuxbrew repo.

[n0nick]

The jemalloc issue is reported here: jemalloc/jemalloc#907.

I got it as well which made me give up on linuxbrew and I went back to installing Neovim via Nix. @javian you can close this ticket if you want, seems that the Linuxbrew repository is up-to-date now.

[javian]

@n0nick I can't since I'm not a maintainer here but you can since you opened it =)

[javian]

There was also a new 5.0.1 jemalloc release within the last 24 hours which might mitigate this issue.
