brew cleanup
brew uninstall gtkwave
brew untap randomplum/gtkwave
brew install -v --HEAD randomplum/gtkwave/gtkwave
Already up-to-date.

looks like a dependency on a version of pkg-config, here is the version available on my machine:

pkg-config --version
0.29.2

System versions:

ProductName:        macOS
ProductVersion:     14.1
BuildVersion:       23B74

Hi, can you run it again: brew update brew upgrade brew doctor brew cleanup brew uninstall gtkwave brew untap randomplum/gtkwave brew install -v --HEAD randomplum/gtkwave/gtkwave

If you can share output of the brew doctor , that may help. 0.29.2 looks to be the correct version.

if it still fails, what’s the output when you try brew uninstall gtkwave brew untap randomplum/gtkwave brew install gobject-introspection brew install -v --HEAD randomplum/gtkwave/gtkwave ?

Hi @randomplum that was a quick reply!

Thanks for the suggestion, that's now working. could be that I was running brew outdated while your new command is brew upgrade.

Thanks for the help, i think this is resolved.
