Homebrew updated zlib and broke everything

homebrew, ruby, ruby-on-rails, rvm, zlib

Solution

Yep, I do propose the following:

- `brew remove php53` (or php54) You can even be more aggressive if needed, just to make sure that no previous installation of php is on your Mac.

- (optional) do a `brew cleanup`. I did not do it and things have been fixed.

- `brew install php53` (or php54)

Then, `php -v` will give you a nice:

PHP 5.3.23 (cli) (built: May  6 2013 16:18:42)
Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies

No more complaints about a missing lib or anything else.

Problem

So a `brew update` updated zlib from 1.2.7 to 1.2.8. Yay. Later I noticed there was an issue running `bundle`. I was getting a `LoadError` for zlib. ``` Error loading RubyGems plugin "/Users/michael/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0@global/gems/rubygems-bundler-1.1.1/lib/rubygems_plugin.rb": dlopen(/Users/michael/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p0/lib/ruby/2.0.0/x86_64-darwin12.3.0/zlib.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/zlib/lib/libz.so.1.2.7 Referenced from: /Users/michael/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p0/lib/ruby/2.0.0/x86_64-darwin12.3.0/zlib.bundle Reason: image not found - /Users/michael/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p0/lib/ruby/2.0.0/x86_64-darwin12.3.0/zlib.bundle (LoadError) ``` `brew doctor` says: ``` dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/zlib/lib/libz.so.1.2.7 Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/php Reason: image not found ``` Tried `brew tap homebrew/dupes` as per this, got `Error: Already tapped!`, of course Next tried `rvm reinstall 2.0.0`. Now `bundle` works but `rails s` still does not. ``` /Users/michael/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0@rails3/gems/activesupport-3.2.13/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:251:in `require': dlopen(/Users/michael/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0@rails3/gems/nokogiri-1.5.9/lib/nokogiri/nokogiri.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/zlib/lib/libz.so.1.2.7 (LoadError) Referenced from: /usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib/libxml2.2.dylib Reason: image not found - /Users/michael/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0@rails3/gems/nokogiri-1.5.9/lib/nokogiri/nokogiri.bundle ``` Anyone know how to fix this? Update Managed to get my everything working, for now, with a `cp /usr/local/opt/zlib/lib/libz.so.1.2.8 /usr/local/opt/zlib/lib/libz.so.1.2.7`. The jankiest of fixes. If anyone has a real solution to this I'd be much obliged.
