problem with brew and raku star.

[cognominal]

Probably conflicting installs but the error message does not help. Not sure this is the place to report. It seems brew issues are only for unsuccessful installs. So I abandonned my intention to file an issue there as well.

Cannot see how this is a "Star" issue... and if you opened a "brew" issue already, thats the way to go, I'd say...

Thx for the feedback. I agree that's maybe not a rakudo star issue except if the brew bottle is a copy of rakudo star scripts. Certainly not a brew specific issue, either. So, more like a zef or rakudo issue. I will file a zef issue. I am clueless how zef works.
