cannot install neovim.app with home-brew

[njdavis]

when I try to install neovim.app, I get the following error:

ld: library not found for -lmsgpack

I have tried to reinstall the xCode command line tools and that did not help.

try running xcode-select --install and trying again?

[njdavis]

it says that: xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates

there don't seem to be any updates.

OK, so either msgpack isn't installed or the compiler isn't seeing it. Try doing:

ls -l /usr/local/lib/libmsgpack.a

If the file isn't there, then you need to reinstall msgpack:

brew uninstall msgpack brew install msgpack

If it is there, something weird is happening.

Thanks. The install worked, however, now I cannot open .cpp or .h files with the application.

I get the following error: Neovim cannot open files in the "C Header" format.

When I try opening it with neovim in the terminal, it works.

[rogual]

How are you trying to open the file?

[njdavis]

from finder, it opens when i try to open it within the app

That's a known issue and should be fixed when https://github.com/rogual/neovim-dot-app/pull/127 gets merged.
