Report

If you run into problems, follow the Troubleshooting section below before filing an issue. If you still have problems:

• Search the issue tracker for your problem. GitHub does not show closed issues by default, but it will search them. Many issues have been resolved already.

• Include the link to the result of your brew gist-logs neovim command. We cannot debug issues without detailed information about the failure.

• It helps to capture the verbose (-v) install output. For example, brew install neovim would become brew install -v neovim. Paste the output in your bug report, and make sure to wrap it with a "fence" so it renders correctly:

  ```
  # output goes here
  ```
  

Troubleshoot

• Run brew update then try again.
• Run brew doctor to diagnose common issues.
• Check that Command Line Tools for Xcode (CLT) and/or Xcode are up to date by checking for updates in the App Store.
  • If the build fails with fatal error: '__debug' file not found, you have to install Xcode. This is due to a bug in the Xcode CLT 6.3.
  • If the build fails with ld: library not found for -lgcc_s, make sure you have the same version of Xcode and Xcode CLT installed.
• Check the Homebrew Troubleshooting page. In particular, the Check for common issues section.
• You can create a gist log with brew gist-logs neovim.
• Use --verbose to get the verbose output, i.e. brew install --HEAD --verbose neovim.
• Use --debug to be in the debug mode. In the debug mode, when failing, you can go into the interactive shell to check the building files before homebrew neutralizing them.
• If you encounter the error CMAKE_USE_SYSTEM_CURL is ON but a curl is not found, then you're missing the dependency for cURL that allows downloads over TLS. Refer to your operating system's section in Linuxbrew Dependencies to fix this.
