Brew doctor: dyld: Library not loaded & Error: No available formula for zlib
Question
When I brew doctor
I get the following errors:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libltdl.7.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/php
Reason: image not found
Error: No available formula for zlib
The file libltdl.7.dylib
is not in my /usr/lib directory, but there are several other .dylib
files.
I'm running 10.8.1 with the latest version of Xcode (4.4.1) and its Command Line Tools installed.
Any idea how to solve these errors?
Solution
Try to re-install libtool by:
brew reinstall libtool --universal && brew unlink libtool && brew link libtool
If that doesn't help, try removing libtool completely, and then retry the steps above:
brew uninstall libtool
If it still doesn't work after trying the steps above, check to see if you have the DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH variable defined somewhere on the system (e.g. ~/.profile) and try unsetting it before trying the steps above again.
Other commands which could be useful for identifying the issue:
$ libtool --version
$ whereis libtool
$ set | grep DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH
$ echo $DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH
OTHER TIPS
For me it works with:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/libtool/2.4.2/lib/libltdl.7.dylib /usr/local/lib/libltdl.7.dylib
if you have an error about pcre like this :
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/pcre/lib/libpcre.1.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/Cellar/watchman/4.7.0/libexec/bin/watchman
Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6
you need to link pcre.
brew link --overwrite pcre
None of them work I personally reinstalled Watchman like so:
brew uninstall watchman
brew reinstall watchman
The following worked for me:
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies node
brew install node
Found the hint in this article: https://goulet.dev/posts/node-dyld-library-not-loaded-icu4c/
xcode-select --install
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install pcre
brew install libtool
that's it.
In my case I solve it with this link's file:
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/jpeg/8d/lib/libjpeg.8.dylib /usr/local/opt/jpeg/lib/libjpeg.8.dyli
The response from kenorb is what worked for me + a little extra for safe measure: brew update freetype didn't have symlinks so: brew link freetype various other solutions I tried:
brew remove imagemagick
brew link jpeg libpng
brew install imagemagick
brew install libtiff
brew uninstall libtool
brew reinstall libtool --universal && brew unlink libtool && brew link libtool
There's a good chance that this wasn't all necessary if I had found
brew uninstall libtool
brew reinstall libtool --universal && brew unlink libtool && brew link libtool
first. But I thought I would post my full process in case anyone runs into issues
For me, I needed to fix XQuartz as brew doctor asked me too:
Warning: Your XQuartz (2.7.6) is outdated Please install XQuartz 2.7.8: https://xquartz.macosforge.org
It worked after that.
I experienced the same error in the process of installing AFNI. Installing PyQt, as suggested here, fixed the issue resulting from OSX 10.11 compatibility.
brew install pyqt
I had:
% neato
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libltdl.7.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/me/Documents/dev/anaconda/bin/neato
Reason: image not found
zsh: abort neato
And the fix was
% echo $DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH
/Users/me/anaconda/lib:/usr/lib
% export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
(and then add the export to a .bashrc
or similar).
First :
brew uninstall libffi
Then :
brew install libffi
In my case I had
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/Python
Referenced from: /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.2-162/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim
Reason: image not found
brew unlink python && brew link python
and boom, fixed.
