This looks like it may be a problem with the way the LZMA headers are installed on your system. Is LZMA from Homebrew?

CoreFoundation is trying to include <Block.h>, which I presume is supposed to resolve to /usr/include/Block.h, but your compiler is finding LZMA's Block.h instead. LZMA's Block.h doesn't like being included, so it probably shouldn't be installed in a location that gets found by “system”-includes (those with <>).

One workaround may be to change your INCLUDE path so that /usr/include comes before /usr/local/include.

If you don't need LZMA, another workaround would be to uninstall it.

[RockfordWei]

@rogual how to uninstall LZMA?

[rogual]

It'd depend on how you installed it. If it was through Homebrew, brew uninstall should work.

I faced this issue when attempting to build another library, the issue for me was that there were a lot of unbrewed header files found in /usr/local/include after migrating my Mac OS X. I ran brew doctor and it gave me a list of these header files, deleting them fixed the issue.

[rbkeefer]

I simple removed /usr/local/include/block.h and this fixed the issue for me.

[HallDJack]

@rbkeefer I ran in to an issue installing a ruby with RVM that caused the same error that @CJBridges ran into. After reading through many other issues and stack overflow questions I found this one.

I ran mv /usr/local/include/block.h /usr/local/include/block.h.old and my install worked. Thank you for the suggestion. 👍

I simple removed /usr/local/include/block.h and this fixed the issue for me.

Gave me a weekend back!
