HomeBrew Mac os x 10.8 throwing errors "no such file to load"

Question

Whenever I run the brew command on this Mac os Machine i get the following error ``` > brew doctor /usr/local/Library/Homebrew/macos.rb:251:in `require': no such file to load -- macos/xcode (LoadError) from /usr/local/Library/Homebrew/macos.rb:251 from /usr/local/Library/Homebrew/utils.rb:3:in `require' from /usr/local/Library/Homebrew/utils.rb:3 from /usr/local/Library/Homebrew/global.rb:7:in `require' from /usr/local/Library/Homebrew/global.rb:7 from /usr/local/bin/brew:17:in `require' from /usr/local/bin/brew:17 ``` I have everything the web had to offer. Any help is appreciated.

Accepted Answer

I had the same problem and resolved it by

```
cd /usr/local
git status
```

If `git status` shows a long list of things have been deleted then this is likely your problem and was probably caused by a change to your RVM setup.

To fix this, do:

```
git reset --hard
```

Now try:

```
brew update
```

It might say that you need to remove some files first. Remove each file in that list with the `sudo rm` command. Then do `brew update` again.

Also you might need to do:

```
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local
```

before you can run brew install.

I used github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/18600 as a reference.
