OSX Mountain Lion Homebrew doctor error importing cdo - homebrew

G'day legends,
I've been suffering horribly with Homebrew on OSX Mountain Goat lately.
I wanted to get numpy and scipy going and it has been hell.
I ended up removing homebrew completely. Somewhere in the middle I did something wrong.
Now I get this:
192-168-1-105:local holografix$ brew doctor
Error: Failed to import: cdo
Your system is raring to brew.

This is a known bug. (https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/14409).
For fix it you can edit /usr/local/Library/Formula/cdo.rb (for example with nano text editor). You need to replace the line
"options 'enable-grib2', 'Compile Fortran bindings'"
by
"option 'enable-grib2', 'Compile Fortran bindings'"
It was "options", but we need "option".

Fixing pkg-config using Apple silicon and homebrew

I am working with C++ on an M1 Mac, and I used Time Machine to get my old laptop's data on the new one once I got it. The old laptop was not an Apple silicon MacBook. The problem is that I think this screwed up my homebrew installation, since it changed the default location from /usr/local/Cellar/ to /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ and so now I have two homebrew versions since I installed it again on my new laptop after I got it (since nothing was working with homebrew at first and thought it didn't carry over using Time Machine, oops)
I didn't use homebrew much until recently so I didn't notice, but it has made compiling C++ programs with external libraries very difficult since everything I need is on my new homebrew installation in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ except pkg-config, which when I call it in a bash script or on the command line points to my old homebrew installation.
For example, I have pugixml in my new installation of homebrew and when I enter pkg-config --libs --cflags pugixml
Package pugixml was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pugixml.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'pugixml' found
pkg-config finds the libraries in the older homebrew installation just fine
My only alternative is to manually inspect the .pc files in the new homebrew installation and enter the flags in my Makefile. I would prefer not to do this. What's the best way to make sure that pkg-config works correctly? If someone knows how to get the new installation of pkg-config to be used at the command line that would solve all my problems I have right now
edit: I forgot to mention this - when I use the which command and ask which pkg-config it outputs /opt/homebrew/bin/pkg-config. This is sort of confusing since this is the new location
Remove the old (Intel) installation with the official uninstall script.
You have to make it executable with:
chmod +x uninstall.sh
And run it with
./uninstall.sh --path=/usr/local
Then reinstall everything you need on the new M1 version under /opt/homebrew.

Dot cannot be run in Pycharm with Sphinx and Graphviz

I am trying to create a class diagram with sphinx. For this I created a virtual environment in Pycharm and added this to conf.py:
extensions = ['sphinx.ext.autodoc','sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram']
In my spamfilter.rst file I added the following lines:
Diagrams
=================
.. inheritance-diagram:: spamfilter
The output is not a diagram and looks like this.
The following warning is displayed:
WARNING: dot command 'dot' cannot be run (needed for graphviz output), check the graphviz_dot setting
When I look into the folder C:\Users\Name\PycharmProjects\documentation\venv\Lib\site-packages\graphviz, there is a dot.py file, so I do not understand what is wrong. A similar question for Mac OS has been asked here. I tried the solution but it seems like it only works for Mac, because when I paste export PATH=$PATH:~/opt/bin to the Pycharm Terminal, it tells me that the command export could not be found. Honestly I have problems understanding why sometimes you can just use packages and other times they cannot be found even when they are installed, I am self-taught and a beginner.
The "pip install graphviz" command installs a Python package that provides an interface to Graphviz (https://pypi.org/project/graphviz). This package is not required by Sphinx.
In order to create inheritance diagrams with Sphinx, the actual Graphviz toolkit (including dot.exe) must be installed. See https://www.graphviz.org.
If dot.exe is not in the PATH, you can use the graphviz_dot configuration option.
I had the same problem where rendering a C4 model with PlantUML didn't work in the IDE (PyCharm 2022.2.1 Pro) on a newer M1 MacOS Monterey. I had it working on a Big Sur intel Mac prior to the upgrade with no extra effort, so the chip change caused me to go down a lot of paths with Rosetta and so on that were all unsuccessful.
The error was:
Dot Executable: /opt/local/bin/dot
File does not exist
Cannot find Graphviz.
Graphviz was installed correctly, and dot was on my path, but it wasn't in /opt/local/bin/dot. Since it was in /opt/homebrew/bin/dot, all I needed to do was link the actual file with the path it was searching for:
cd /opt
sudo ln -s homebrew local
et voilĂ , PyCharm is now correctly rendering the puml in the IDE.

Installing Wine on Mac OS Catalina. Error: No available formula with the name "wine"

I'm trying to install Wine on my Mac via Brew. I'm using Catalina and just updated brew, installed XQuartz and have Xcode installed. When I type the command "Brew install wine" it returns the following:
Error: No available formula with the name "wine"

I was able to build Wine 64 bit from source on macOS Catalina and successfully run Notepad++ 64 bit on it.
My steps were more or less something like that:
Download Wine 4.20 from https://dl.winehq.org/wine/source/4.x/wine-4.20.tar.xz
Extract it
In terminal go to extracted directory
Run: ./configure --enable-win64
It showed that it cannot find some library (I do not remember what exactly) so I installed it with macports (sudo port install name_of_missing_package reported by ./configure)
After I was able to run ./configure --enable-win64 succesfully without errors in terminal run: make
It compiled after more than 30 minutes.
I run it with: ./wine start
It opened windows console and here I was able to cd to Notepad++ 64 bit directory (downloaded from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.0/npp.7.bin.x64.zip note that newest version did not work and throwed some errors about some dll's)
I typed notepad++ to run exe file
It showed some errors about freetype fonts so I installed them with macports and I had to copy them from /opt/X11/lib to /usr/local/lib before wine detected them
After fixing freetype fonts problem I was able to run notepad++
Also you might want to run: sudo spctl --master-disable to disable gatekeeper if you will see some system alerts about loading app from unknown developer.
Also note that instead of ./wine start you can run ./wine explorer for graphical file manager instead of console
Those steps might not be exactly precise, as I'm not sure if I did not miss something but hope it will help someone.
Also note that obviously wine on macOS Catalina will be able to run only some 64 bit windows apps and all 32 bit windows app will not work. I also tested it with IrfanView 64 bit (https://www.fosshub.com/IrfanView.html?dwl=iview453_x64_setup.exe) and it also works fine.
In case you wanted to get wine working for purpose of running 32 bit games then unfortunately it will not work with wine but you can try with virtualbox. You can check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AO8dF0vviQ for some performance improvements tips.
Wine hast been removed from homebrew due to the incompatibility to Macos Catalina
https://discourse.brew.sh/t/issue-with-wine/6188/3
Try using wine64 to run your .exe files after installing wine. The manuals and references don't seem to mention this explicitly.
More Info
I followed the guidance in the wine manual to install using home-brew. After install, I got an error when trying to test the installation like it says in the quickstart.
Install wine-stable using homebrew
brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
brew install --cask --no-quarantine wine-stable
After install, test by opening notepad
wine notepad
zsh: bad CPU type in executable: wine
While uninstalling wine, I noticed one of the linked libraries was called wine64. I immediately reinstalled and tried again using wine64 as the call, as I am using wine on an M1 Mac. This was successful!
You can also use winehelp to get access to more commands that will work with 64bit processor.
Based on https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/46556#issuecomment-559938873 you can do brew cask install wine-stable on newer version of OS X. And works with recent versions of homebrew since the source version was moved :(
How to install wine on Mac OS Catalina with brew
install homebrew with
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
install xquartz to install wine using brew
brew cask install xquartz
install wine using brew
brew install homebrew/cask-versions/wine-devel
run wine and check the version
wine64 --version
As of Wine 5.0 there is no 32bit support on mac in the official version, but you are able to achieve it via the
Unofficial Wineskin Winery
You can download it from github releases here. And then create a Wineskin with WS11WineCX[64/32]bit19.0.[0/1]. All WS11 versions support Catalina. To use it you also need to turn off the no32exec boot argument. You theoretically can do it by typing:
sudo nvram boot-args="no32exec=0"
into the Terminal while you're logged in but it didn't work out for me, so if you'll have the same problem, reboot into the Recovery mode, in the menubar pick Utilities -> Terminal and type just:
nvram boot-args="no32exec=0"
(without sudo).
Example
To be more exact, to install eg. Steam 32bit, you would:
Install the Unofficiall Wineskin Winery from the provided link
Turn on the 32bit execution boot argument by going into Recovery Mode and entering nvram boot-args="no32exec=0" into the terminal
Open Wineskin, click the '+' sign and scroll down to find the WS11WineCX64bit19.0.1 (the newest version with 64 and 32 bit support, at the time of writing)
Click update/install under the Wrapper Version.
Click Create New Blank Wrapper, name it and click through installation of mono and gecko.
Launch the Wrapper App from Finder. Click Install Software, choose setup executable, and proceed through installation. Then pick the executable from a menu. (In case of steam, Steam.exe)
Note: If you get the "No windows app to open the file"(Like I did) error, click advanced -> configuration and set the Windows EXE to the path to the installer. Then find the place that it has installed in and set that as Windows EXE. Then you can run by clicking Test Run.
Enjoy your windows app, as an .app file!
Hope I helped!

How can I make Homebrew and CocoAspell coexist?

After much searching on the Internet, I have never seen a satisfactory answer or explanation to the following problem. I would like to use CocoAspell for system-wide spell-checking on OS X 10.9 (plugs into TexShop, TextMate, etc.), but every time I install it, brew doctor starts throwing the following warnings:
Warning: Unbrewed dylibs were found in /usr/local/lib.
If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when
building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be deleted.
Unexpected dylibs:
/usr/local/lib/libaspell.15.1.4.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libpspell.15.1.4.dylib
Warning: Unbrewed .la files were found in /usr/local/lib.
If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when
building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be deleted.
Unexpected .la files:
/usr/local/lib/libaspell.la
/usr/local/lib/libpspell.la
Internet searches have shown that these warnings never seem to lead to any errors, but it seems to me that there must be some way to suppress them. Partly, I like to see the Your system is ready to brew notification, but I'd also like to avoid some sort of "boy crying wolf" situation, where I become accustomed to brew doctor throwing errors.
Is there a way to either:
Install CocoAspell in another location, such that brew doesn't see it
Hide the offending dylib and .la files from brew doctor
Or enable the CocoAspell preference pane/program to access libraries installed by a brewed version of aspell
Uninstalling CocoAspell and trashing the offending files results in a clean bill of health, and performing brew install aspell results in a working version of aspell, but this doesn't help me with any of the GUI applications I prefer for LaTeX editing.
Uninstall cocoAspell completely if you installed it before.
Install aspell with homebrew or any other package manager. Don't forget the dictionaries you need. I wanted English and Czech, so I used
brew install aspell --with-lang-cs --with-lang-en
Install only the preference pane of cocoAspell. Click on "Customize" before installing and only select the "Spelling" option.
Create the directory /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/
Make a symlink in the directory to make the preference pane aware of the available dictionaries (as the administrator):
cd /Library/Application\ Support/cocoAspell/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60 Dictionaries
Make sure that /usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60 is the correct path.
The cocoAspell pref pane now shows the installed dictionaries.
Add the offending files to the white_list in doctor.rb. Mine was in /usr/local/Library/Homebrew/cmd/doctor.rb
If your's isn't there, find it with
locate doctor.rb
Look for white_list in side of def check_for_stray_dylibs, mine was on line 105. It should probably look like this.
white_list = {
"libfuse.2.dylib" => "MacFuse",
"libfuse_ino64.2.dylib" => "MacFuse",
"/usr/local/lib/libTrAPI.dylib" => "TrAPI"
}
An alternative is to install Homebrew somewhere other than /usr/local (that is, create ~/.homebrew, or /Tools/homebrew; then sudo chmod $USER /Tools/homebrew, untar Homebrew there, and add /Tools/homebrew/bin to your $PATH). That way, /usr/local is reserved for things you're installed there by some other means, rather than using Homebrew; for example the situation you describe here. Homebrew still occasionally whines about it, but you can usually ignore it.
I use Homebrew as my principal OS X package manager; I don't let it anywhere near /usr/local.
Note that this advice is the direct opposite of Homebrew's insistent dogma, which I myself find unpersuasive.

Strange Problems With Python After Upgrading to OS X Mavericks

After upgrading my OS X Lion to Mavericks, I've encountered with strange problems.
At first, It gave me segmentation fault or bus error. After searching for a bit I've noticed that it's related to the readline library. The solution was described by bugs.python.org:
curl -O http://bugs.python.org/file32324/patch_readline_issue_18458.sh
openssl sha1 patch_readline_issue_18458.sh # the digest should be 7cb0ff57820a027dd4ca242eb2418930f8f46b4c
sudo sh ./patch_readline_issue_18458.sh
This will disable the readline library. The errors are gone now but I have another problem. In Python shell when I press arrow keys (up, down, left or right) it gives me these: ^[[A, [[C^, ^[[B, ^[[D. I think the problem is still related to the readline library but I don't know how to solve it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
I'm no authority on the guts of Python, so take my advice with caution. But, having encountered the same problem after the Mavericks upgrade (and using Python 2.7), I just did a
easy_install readline
at the command line, and everything seems to be working again. No more segmentation error, and arrow keys in the Python shell appear to be functioning normally.
The (brand new) Python 3.3.3rc1 fixes the SegFault problem.
It's here: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.3/
