Zathura won't load PDF files (OSX, mupdf) #82

I seem to have the same issue as https://github.com/zegervdv/homebrew-zathura/issues/46 but providing full path in the command line (zathura $full_path_to_pdf_file) does not resolve it.

Zathura loads a black screen and gives the following error on the command line: error: Could not determine file type.

It does this for any PDF I try. I followed the install instructions, including installing with --HEAD, making a directory, and symlinking in the README.

Any tips? Thanks!

brew uninstall zathura-pdf-mupdf brew install zathura-pdf-poppler zathura $some_pdf.pdf

it seems to work with poppler! not sure why...
