I've looked at what may be a useful answer at Library not loaded error (libidn.11.dylib) when trying to install Homebrew.

However, I don't remember ever having purposely installed MacPorts. Also, do not want to remove anything before I better understand what I would be doing.

Can anyone help me fix this without potentially doing damage.

snapshot from my console

Another snippet from console:

Jonathans-MacBook-Pro-2:bin JonMac$ pwd
/usr/local/bin
Jonathans-MacBook-Pro-2:bin JonMac$ brew install libidn
/usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/brew: line 26: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: Undefined error: 0
Jonathans-MacBook-Pro-2:bin JonMac$

  • Try `brew install libidn` to install the missing library required by curl – drew010 Jul 17 '16 at 05:07
  • brew itself won't work: 'Jonathans-MacBook-Pro-2:bin JonMac$ pwd /usr/local/bin Jonathans-MacBook-Pro-2:bin JonMac$ brew install libidn /usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory /usr/local/bin/brew: line 26: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: Undefined error: 0 Jonathans-MacBook-Pro-2:bin JonMac$' – Solur Jul 19 '16 at 00:58
  • You are running `/usr/local/bin/curl` which was probably installed with `ruby` by `homebrew`. Running `otool -L /usr/local/bin/curl` will tell you what required libraries are needed by `/usr/local/bin/curl`. Check if `ruby` can run using `/usr/bin/curl`. – alvits Jul 19 '16 at 01:16
  • The installed `ruby` is missing as well. Did you just recently upgrade `OS X`? If you did, then you need to re-install `homebrew`. You should consider using the `XCode` command line tools when possible. – alvits Jul 19 '16 at 01:21
  • If you have recently upgraded `OS X` you;ll find a newer version of `ruby`. Check the content of this directory `/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions`. Update the shebang of `homebrew` to reflect this new current version. – alvits Jul 19 '16 at 02:04
  • Hi Alvits! It seems like i am still on ruby 2.0.0. I am on OS X 11. Should ruby have been upgraded when OS X 11 was installed (some time ago)? I don't know what updating the shebang of 'homebrew' is. I do have the 'XCode' command line tools installed. How should I use these? I haven't used them explicitly before. – Solur Jul 19 '16 at 02:48

The curl installed as part of your PHP installation is missing a library that it expects, for some reason.

You'll probably want to delete these PHP installs from /usr/local, as chances are that they will interfere with future installs of software through Homebrew, but that's up to use.

Try explicitly using the OS X provide curl in /usr/bin/curl.
