I had a few issues with the cURL library interfering with Homebrew. After hopefully removing the library (I no longer use it anyway), I started receiving errors whenever I used commands such as curl and brew update. I fixed brew with brew uninstall git && brew install git, but I'm still getting the following error with curl:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libcurl.4.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/curl
  Reason: Incompatible library version: curl requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 7.0.0

I'm assuming that I accidentally deleted the wrong library somewhere along the line. Could someone set me along on the right path in fixing the screwup?

  • The Error is telling you what you need to do: Curl Requires version 8 of the library and you have 7 so you must install 8 – eyoung100 Jul 21 '15 at 21:29
  • @eyoung100 Going to the cURL download page lists 7.43 as the latest version, and Homebrew as the source for the OS X package. Running brew install curl results in Warning: curl-7.43.0 already installed. I cannot find a source for just a libcurl.4.dylib anywhere. – Jared Jul 21 '15 at 21:40
  • Try brew update && brew upgrade and lastly brew reinstall curl – eyoung100 Jul 21 '15 at 22:09
  • Right. Everything's up-to-date, and I've already tried reinstalling. I've also tried uninstalling and seeing if just the OS X-provided curl would work on its own, but I still have the same behavior. – Jared Jul 21 '15 at 22:24
  • There is a copy of the library at /usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib and /usr/local/Cellar/curl/7.43.0/lib/libcurl.4.dylib. Should I create a symlink to one of these copies at /usr/local/lib/libcurl.4.dylib? If so, which one? – Jared Jul 21 '15 at 22:32
  • No rm /usr/local/Cellar/curl/* OSX has a native copy. The library is misconfigured. See: trying to install curl with homebrew, getting “incompatible library version” for libcurl.4.dylib – eyoung100 Jul 21 '15 at 22:35
  • As stated above, removing Homebrew's curl has been attempted. Your linked question suggested either installing from source (which is unwanted) or force uninstalling with rm and reinstalling with Homebrew (already attempted and failed). This question would be more relevant, but is still unanswered. As suggested by it, using sudo sh -c 'type curl';type curl results in the same file /usr/local/bin/curl appearing twice; the "tough" problem. – Jared Jul 21 '15 at 22:54
