Homebrew installation error

japrozs commented 2 years ago

I ran the following command and was facing some issues with installing the toolchain on my Mac

$ brew tap riscv-software-src/riscv
$ brew install riscv-tools
Warning: No available formula with the name "flock" (dependency of riscv-software-src/riscv/riscv-tools). Did you mean loc or flow?
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
These similarly named formulae were found:
loc                                                       flow
To install one of them, run (for example):
  brew install loc
Found a cask named "flock" instead. Try
  brew install --cask flock

i'm running macOS 10.15.7 my machine

I'm confused by this error since flock still seems to be available in Homebrew?

i tried installing it a few days ago, and there's seems to be a confusion over which flock to install as their seem to be more than one package on homebrew referenced by the name flock

does this method of installation work on your machine?

In Homebrew's core, formula names should be unique: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/flock.rb

If you are seeing two copies of flock, perhaps you have a tap with that name? The original error from above shows 0 flock formula found.
