$ brew remove hadoop
Error: hadoop has multiple installed versions
I can not seem to find a way how to remove all the versions (they are 1.0.4 and 1.1.2).
This also seems to work:
brew remove --force hadoop
brew cleanup hadoop seems to be the way to go, it uninstalls all the versions installed! Hope this helps somebody.

I've installed homebrew on my machine. Using brew I've installed meld. When I run it with git I get the following error:
Couldn't bind the translation domain. Some translations won't work.
'module' object has no attribute 'bindtextdomain'

I don't understand how exactly brew works. In fact I never dug into its code, used it only to (un)install the software.
Did some online searches but there doesn't seem to be a solution to this. Has anyone figured it out?
Homebrew is simply a a package manager for MacOS. Unlike Linux, Mac doesn't always have all the external libraries you may need for things like wget, pip, etc out of the box. Homebrew tries to bridge this gap.
As for troubleshooting your issue, following Homebrew's troubleshooting steps helped me... You are probably just stuck in dependency hell, since Homebrew integrates alot of its libraries with Xcode (for me it was needing to update Xcode to latest): https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Troubleshooting.md#troubleshooting
It's really important to keep thing up-to-date with brew update and then running brew doctor and brew prune resolved alot of issues for me as well.
If all else fails, homebrew seemed to have moved the meld formulae from homebrew/core to caskroom/cask. So I recall having to run the following command after running brew doctor and updating Xcode:
$ brew uninstall meld
$ brew install meld
Error: No available formula with the name "meld"
It was migrated from homebrew/core to caskroom/cask.
You can access it again by running:
brew tap caskroom/cask
$ brew tap caskroom/cask
$ brew cask install meld

I have installed Elixir 0.14.1 and Erlang 17.1 on my mac by homebrew
When I tried to run the mix command I get the following error:
$ mix new example
No file named /usr/local/bin/mix
It is a regression on Erlang 17.1. We are releasing Elixir 0.14.2 today that will address this particular bug.
Just want to add: if you are using Homebrew, make sure to run brew update before running brew upgrade elixir so you can get the latest formula.
I'm not very sure if this is the way to fix the error, I'm very new to the language and what I did and now mix is working is:
$ brew unlink elixir
$ brew install elixir --HEAD
Any ideas? Suggestions?
New update, no need to do a brew install elixir --HEAD
just to update to the latest elixir 0.14.2 will work.
So I tried to install it according to the directions on couchdb wiki. and I get the following issue
Installing couchdb dependency: erlang-r15
==> Downloading https://github.com/erlang/otp/archive/OTP_R15B03-1.tar.gz

Is there anyway to tell brew to skip this dependency since I have already installed the correct version of erlang, and it can't see it?
Did you try brew uninstall couchdb and re install after?
I had the same issue, it fixed it for me
So to get this working I followed the instruction on the couchdb until the install couchdb command:
brew remove --force openssl erlang couchdb icu4c spidermonkey nspr
brew update
brew outdated
brew rm --force erlang
cd /usr/local
git checkout 168742f Library/Formula/erlang.rb
brew install erlang
since I knew I had the right erlang installed I altered the Bew formula to make it work correctly.
So I headed over to the formula at
vim /usr/local/Library/Formula/couchdb.rb
And altered the dependency line
depends_on 'erlang-15'
to
depends_on 'erlang'
and works great now!!
None of the solutions here worked for me, but the below did. Note, I had to build with unixodbc.
brew remove --force openssl erlang couchdb icu4c spidermonkey
brew update
brew install unixodbc
brew install homebrew/versions/erlang-r15 --with-unixodbc
# edit /usr/local/Library/Formula/couchdb.rb to change depends_on to 'erlang-r15'
brew install couchdb
You may want to first try force removing only erlang and couchdb -- as someone in this thread mentioned that force removing packages messed up his system (though I did not encounter this problem when running the above instructions).
I want to do a brew upgrade and tell homebrew do not upgrade the erlang formula since the latest one does not work on my system.
Is it possible do do something like homebrew upgrade --skip erlang?
I finally found an answer: since commit 85eb73ce there is a pin subcommand available. So ignoring a formula on brew upgrade is as simple as pinning it via brew pin <formula>. To un-pin it, simply invoke brew unpin <formula>.
It is worth noting that brew upgrade <formula> will still update the formula regardless of whether or not it is pinned.
Caveat: This answer is no longer valid for recent versions of Homebrew, since brew pin has been removed.
brew pin is the way to go. It will pin the formula to the current version
brew pin <formula>
brew unpin can be used to reset this
brew unpin <formula>
To view all pinned formulae
brew list --pinned
Note: brew upgrade will not upgrade pinned formulae.
You could upgrade erlang to the latest version but keep using the older working version with the brew commands versions and switch.
To list available versions use:
brew versions erlang
To switch between two installed versions (I'll presume you wanted erlang R14):
brew switch erlang R14B04
i had a similar 'problem'. i installed libfreenect (unstable) directly on my system. and now i dont want homebrew to upgrade it. i solved it by deleting following file:
/usr/local/Library/Formula/libfreenect.rb
analogous it would be /usr/local/Library/Formula/erlang.rb for you
Is it possible to install multiple versions side-by-side with Homebrew?
I find myself in a situation needing sbt-0.7.x, sbt-0.10.x and sbt-0.11.0. I've installed both sbt-0.7.7 and sbt-0.10.1 manually at the moment to work around the issue (with sbt-0.11.0 being the latest 'sbt' from Homebrew).
Yeah. When you install a new version of a package, it keeps the old one. The symlinks in /usr/local/bin or wherever point to the latest version, but you can still call the binaries (or link to the libraries) in the older version.
brew list to see what's installed. You can look in package directories to see all the versions; or call brew list --versions to see all packages and all versions.
To easily switch between versions of formulae, you can use:
brew switch <formula> <version>
For example:
brew switch gradle 3.2.1
To list which versions you have installed try:
brew list --versions
or:
brew list <formula> --versions
If you want to get rid of older versions, just use:
brew cleanup
As of Homebrew 2.0.0, it would remove old packages automatically when brew upgrade is called. (https://brew.sh/2019/02/02/homebrew-2.0.0/). To opt-out of this behavior, set the environment variable: export HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP=1
