Homebrew error installing tomcat - homebrew

After installing tomcat on Os x El Capitan using Homebrew I have received the following Warning:
your HOMEBREW_PREFIX is set to /usr/local but HOMEBREW_CELLAR is set
to /usr/local/Cellar. Your current HOMEBREW_CELLAR location will stop
you being able to use all the binary packages (bottles) Homebrew
provides. We recommend you move your HOMEBREW_CELLAR to
/usr/local/Cellar which will get you access to all bottles."
The command brew services list shows no services installed.
Printenv doesn't show any homebrew variable
It's not clear to me what should I do.

enter link description here
I also encountered this problem, in the end of the page to get accurate help,
brew bundle dump
rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/Cellar
brew bundle

I have received a similar warning when I tried to do a brew update.
It did not allow me to update. All I have done to resolve it was do a brew update in going to the /usr/local/Cellar directory.
From what I understand HOMEBREW_REPOSITORY path was modified or went missing when the OS was updated. After the brew update, the message said
Migrated HOMEBREW_REPOSITORY to /usr/local/Homebrew!
Homebrew no longer needs to have ownership of /usr/local. If you wish you can
return /usr/local to its default ownership with:
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local
This got me back to my normal brew usage with out a problem.

Install MacVim in Sierra

I have a new laptop with Sierra. I brought my applications from my old mac with Time Machine and most of them are working fine. However, Macvim disappeared. I tried to install it.
I tried to re-install it by installing Homebrew and brew installing macvim. The install looks successful, but I still cannot find nor use macvim. I guess this is a matter again of application files no longer being in /usr/ but in Library/, but honestly I am a bit lost as to how to figure out whether this is the problem and how to fix it.
Can you please help me out with this?
How I installed Homebrew:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
How I installed Macvim:
brew install macvim
MacVim is keg-only.
If you run this command after installation:
brew linkapps
you will find MacVim in your Applications folder in finder.
Since linkapps is now deprecated, I've had to manually link .app via
ln -Fs `find /usr/local -name "MacVim.app"` /Applications/MacVim.app
Unfortunately, Spotlight cannot find MacVim this way. Therefore, I've (after opening the app by double-clicking on the icon in Finder's Applications folder) right-clicked on the app's icon on the dock and selected Option -> Keep in Dock.
The symbolic soft link solution described by #laylaylom works; but I am having trouble setting MacVim as my default app for some filetype. Then I found this from here:
% mkdir ~/Applications/Emacs.app
% ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/emacs/23.2/Emacs.app/Contents ~/Applications/Emacs.app
That solution was for Emacs.app but it can work with MacVim as well:
% mkdir ~/Applications/MacVim.app
% ln -Fs /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.1-151/MacVim.app/Contents ~/Applications/MacVim.app
There is now a cask for MacVim, but it's not the default. The correct command is:
brew install homebrew/cask/macvim
This will install MacVim in the Applications folder, and make it available to Spotlight.

brew link libgpg-error use libgpg-error-1.12 while I have libgpg-error-1.13 instead

I use OS X 10.9.4.
I wanted to install ruby-2.1.1 by rvm install 2.1.1
But I got some error. I checked the log and found that I must brew link libgpg-error first before I install libksba, But, when I execute the command brew link libgpg-error, I got an error message says Linking /usr/local/Cellar/libgpg-error/1.13... Error: No such file or directory - /usr/local/Cellar/libgpg-error/1.12/share/common-lisp, I checked the comment there, and found here is only libgpg-error/1.13, not libgpg-error/1.12. And I searched in the google search engine, Nothing could I found.
So, How should I do to successfully execute brew link libgpg-error?
Had similar error, fixed by brew prune. Based on https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/32169

RVM hangs on 'Installing required packages' on Debian

I installed rvm on debian 7 using the command:
\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails
from this article:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-on-an-debian-7-0-wheezy-vps-using-rvm
I get this output:
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
Found remote file https://rvm.io/binaries/debian/7/x86_64/ruby-2.1.0.tar.bz2
Checking requirements for debian.
Installing requirements for debian.
Updating system...
Installing required packages: gawk, g++, libreadline6-dev, zlib1g-dev, libssl-dev, libyaml-dev, libsqlite3-dev, sqlite3, autoconf, libgdbm-dev, libncurses5-dev, automake, libtool, bison, pkg-config, libffi-dev
It hangs here forever. I tried waiting about 30 min. I also tried hitting ctrl-c and running some rvm commands. rvm list known works fine, but rvm install gets me back to the same "installing requirements" and it hangs as well.
Any ideas? Googleing only seemed to bring up issues involving OSX (I'm using debian in a vbox in windows 8).
Would installing each required package indiviually via apt-get be the best move?
I faced the same issue. To resolve, just mount the installation CD that you used to install Debian and it will work.
I encountered the same issue with Debian 8. As it turns out, the installation was looking for the required packages on the Debian install CD-ROM, which wasn't inserted. To fix this, run the following command:
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Then, comment out the line beginning with "cdrom" so that it looks like the following:
# cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux...
You should be able to run sudo apt-get update then try installing rvm again. However, I restarted my laptop before doing so. Therefore, I can't give 100% confirmation that it works without restarting.
As i've written in comment, try installing requirements by hand, sometimes something wilk silently fail and cause such issues. As OP found, the gawk package was causing the issue.
Just remove the cdrom entry from the sources.list file. This can be done easily:
sudo sed -i '/cdrom/d' /etc/apt/sources.list
This should take care of the problem. The message is because somehow you still have the cdrom entry in your sources.list file, you can check the content of the file using:

Can't get Homebrew and git to work the way I want them to

First off, I'm sorry for any silly mistakes on my part. I'm just starting with OneMonthRails, and this is all very new to me. My problem is with Homebrew and git. I'm told that my problem has to do with environmental variables, and I've done enough research to be confident this is correct. Ok, here's the details:
I've tried to install Homebrew, but ran into a snag with Xcode being absent. Was running OSX 10.6.8, and had to upgrade to at least 10.7.x to install the latest Xcode. I upgraded to OSX 10.8.4 and installed Xcode and reran the following line
$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
I get the following script:
==> Installation successful!
You should run `brew doctor' *before* you install anything.
Now type: brew help
I am installing Homebrew so that I can install ImageMagick in order to run the Paperclip gem, so I take the advice of my Terminal about running $ brew doctor.
$ brew doctor
produces the line
Warning: Experimental support for using Xcode without the "Command Line Tools".
You have only installed Xcode. If stuff is not building, try installing the
"Command Line Tools" package provided by Apple.
Warning: Broken symlinks were found. Remove them with `brew prune`:
///long list of broken symlinks///
Warning: An outdated version of Git was detected in your PATH.
Git 1.7.10 or newer is required to perform checkouts over HTTPS from GitHub.
Please upgrade: brew upgrade git
I want to know what my git version is so I run the following script:
$ git --version
and that produces the following line:
git version 1.7.9.6
I identify where my git is located:
$ which git
and that brings:
/opt/sm/pkg/active/bin/git
After some more research, I find out that I can upgrade my git with the following script:
$ brew install git
The final line of the resulting script is a warning:
Warning: This keg was marked linked already, continuing anyway
==> Summary
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/git/1.8.3.2: 1325 files, 28M, built in 45 seconds
I verify my git upgrade
$ git --version
git version 1.7.9.6
sudo think...maybe I need to run upgrade instead of install.
///restart computer///
$ brew upgrade git
Error: git-1.8.3.2 already installed
hmm... try doctor again
$ brew doctor

$ git --version

YAY! I DID SOMETHING RIGHT! Now to finish with Homebrew so I can move on to installing ImageMagick:
$ brew doctor
Warning: Experimental support for using Xcode without the "Command Line Tools".

Arrg... I just installed Xcode. How do I install Command Line Tools? And what is this config Warning? I check it on StackOverflow, and it leads me here:
(.../questions/15225312/brew-doctor-gives-out-warnings)
I don't exactly know what I'm doing, so the following is kinda stupid
$ $PATH
nope
$ echo $PATH
nothing...
$ export PATH=/sm/pkg/active/bin/
nothing
$ export PATH= /sm/pkg/active/bin/
-bash: export: `/sm/pkg/active/bin/': not a valid identifier
(notice the space after the =)
I realize just how much I don't know what I'm doing, so I ask for help
$ brew help
-bash: brew: No such file or directory
uh oh...
$ brew doctor
-bash: brew: No such file or directory
I think I broke my computer, guys. What should I do??? I need to get Homebrew functioning so that I can install the ImageMagick image processor and use the Paperclip gem in Rails.
:((
I know it's super frustrating and some what confusing to get this all to work. Been there, done that.
There are a couple things at play here, so take them one at a time (in fact. I'm just guessing some stuff so I'm happy to update this answer as you let me know more)
Let's start with:
Warning: Experimental support for using Xcode without the "Command Line Tools". You have only installed Xcode. If stuff is not building, try installing the "Command Line Tools" package provided by Apple.
Installing command line tools is highly recommended. It's going to install gcc and other tools that help compile the code that homebrew downloads.
Open Xcode.
Open Preferences.
On the top bar, choose "Downloads"
Install "Command line tools"
Second, I'm not sure how you quite blew away your path. I would first see if you just messed up this terminal and if you close it and start a new terminal window if your PATH is okay.
However, failing that, here's a path that has some basic search paths that will help you get on your way:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin
You should probably check your .zshrc/.zsh_profile or .bashrc/.bash_profile and see what you are setting your PATH to.
You won't want the space on either side of the = when you are typing that command.
I recently tried the upgrade from 10.6 to 10.8 (to install rails, bundler, RVM) and had lots of the same problems with brew and RVM conflicting AND having their own separate problems (PATH, permissions/non-writable folders, old versions XCode etc). It went off without problems after i tripled backed up everything (TMachine, git and manually copying selected directory trees) and did the clean Mountain Lion install off a USB drive.
If you're only having PATH problems, you could edit it manually/temporarily (until next time .bashrc is run, per comment to the answer: Brew doctor gives out warnings

Getting a "bad interpreter" error when using brew

I'm getting this error when I try to run any brew command.
Holger-Sindbaeks-MacBook-Air:~ holgersindbaek$ brew help
-bash: /usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
I have absolutely no idea on how to fix this and been searching for a long time without answer.
I got this error (much the same):
/usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/brew: line 26: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: Undefined error: 0
and fixed by the solution below:
Open brew.rb:
$ sudo vim /usr/local/Library/brew.rb
Change the first line's 1.8 to Current:
Before:
#!/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby -W0
After:
#!/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/ruby -W0
Then brew works for me. Hope it helps if any other one got this issue. :)
If you get the error
Homebrew requires Leopard or higher. For Tiger support, see:
https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew
change the MACOS check from <10.5 to <10.
Tip by #TimCastelijns:
10.5 doesn't work because in comparison, it's higher than 10.10 (.1 vs .5). I added a check (and MACOS_VERSION != 10.10) instead of lowering from 10.5 to 10.
What you are getting means that Homebrew has not been able to locate the Ruby interpretter at the specified location.
Install Apple Developer Kit (comes with Xcode) which should be available to you as an optional install (or you can simply download it from Apple). This will install the Ruby interpreter for you.
In case you already have Xcode installed, this means that one of these things is happening:
You have a broken Ruby installation
You have more than one Ruby installation
Your installation has not been configured properly.
To identify if this is the first case, you can run ruby and see if you get any response.
If you don't, your installation is broken and you need to reinstall it. If you do, you then run which ruby. This should give you the absolute path to your Ruby executable. If this is anything other than /usr/bin/ruby then homebrew (and a bunch of other programs) will not be able to find it.
In case you have not ever tampered with your Ruby installation, you can check to see if /usr/bin/ruby already exists or not: cat /usr/bin/ruby. If you get No such file or directory, then you can easily create a symbolic link to your Ruby installation. Assuming the output of which ruby to by /usr/local/bin/ruby, you create the symbolic link this way: sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby and all should be well.
If there is a file at that location, you can run file /usr/bin/ruby to see if it's a real file, a symbolic link, or a corrupted file. If it is a symbolic link, your installation should be working, and since it's not, it probably is either a corrupted symlink or it's a bogus file.
You can remedy that by first deleting it (sudo rm /usr/bin/ruby) and then creating a new symlink to the correct location (sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby).
If non of the above works, you should consult the homebrew team after a clean install of Xcode and removing any traces of a Ruby installation on your system.
EDIT
Alternatively, as pointed out by the other answers, the issue might be because of a bad ruby version in your Homebrew settings.
A quick fix might be updating your Homebrew:
cd /usr/local
git pull -q origin refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
If this does not help, you might want to get your hands dirty and manually fix the problem by:
Editing brew.rb from /user/local/Library/brew.rb
Changing /1.8/ to /Current/ in the first line, which will cause the hashbang to point to the current Ruby version as the executor
If this does not help, either, you can also modify the MACOS check and change it from 10.5 to 10 to avoid the infamous "Homebrew requires Leopard or higher" error.
DISCLAIMER
A bunch of thanks to other contributors in the answers below and their commenters. I am not committing plagiarism, simply aggregating the answers into one integrated article to help others.
Fix:
sudo gem install cocoapods
At the risk of oversimplifying things, try running
gem install bundler
I was transitioning my Ruby environment from RBENV to RVM and it worked for me.
This happened because I needed to update brew - in the updated version it already uses Current ruby
cd /usr/local
git pull -q origin refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
This solved the problem
You need to change the path for Ruby.Framework
I solved it with commands as mentioned.
brew install cocoapods --build-from-source
brew link --overwrite cocoapods
If you have a lower version below Xcode 11, you have to remove it before you use the above commands.
Reference: Ruby Framework issue
None of the above worked for me, so I kept browsing and found this answer,
https://stackoverflow.com/a/24225960/1359088
which did fix brew for me. He says in step 1 to install XCode 6 command line tools, but doesn't say how; use this command:
xcode-select --install
I got the same issue when updated to MacOSX High Sierra & using Xcode 9 with that. High Sierra update ruby gem to version 2.3 but xcpreety command of Xcode 9 still using Ruby 2.0 which is unable to find now & gives bad interpreter.
Just go to Terminal & run
sudo gem install xcpretty
Restart Xcode & do fresh clean build it works for me.
Hope it helps!!!
After upgrading to macOS High Sierra, get it fixed with following commands:
sudo gem install cocoapods
In my case seems like fastlane installed incorrectly with brew install fastlane system didn't write correct path to fastlane. I fixed it with alias fastlane=~/.fastlane/bin/fastlane
I solved it with commands as mentioned.
1.) Uninstall your GEM.
gem unistall GEM
2.) Then Install your GEM.
sudo gem install GEM -n /usr/local/bin
I got bad interpreter: No such file or directory error when used xcpretty and xcpretty-travis-formatter on upgraded MacOS.
To solve it
gem install xcpretty
gem install xcpretty-travis-formatter
That is why I can recommend you to reinstall failed component gem install <name>
#For example error looks like
/usr/local/bin/xcpretty-travis-formatter: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.3/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
#use
gem install xcpretty-travis-formatter
