Get Mountain Lion and Homebrew to Be Happy

1) Install XCode 4.4 into /Applications

Get it from http://developer.apple.com. You will not be able to submit apps to any stores using this XCode version, so turn away if that is something you might want to do.

2) Install Command Line Tools

In XCode's Preferences > Downloads you can install command line tools.

[insert screenshot]

3) Let Everyone Know Where XCode Is

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

4) Install X11

Visit http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki and download and install 2.7.2+.

You will need to fix the symlink it makes:

ln -s /opt/X11 /usr/X11

5) Reinstall your brews

brew list

Will tell you what you need to check. Try out everything one by one and when one doesn't work brew remove it and then reinstall it. If the install doesn't work, try brew install it --use-gcc to prevent llvm from getting in the way.

Things that gave me issues that I had to remove and install:

  • macvim
  • imagemagick
  • ghostscript
