Please note we will close your issue without comment if you delete, do not read or do not fill out the issue checklist below and provide ALL the requested information. If you repeatedly fail to use the issue template, we will block you from ever submitting issues to Homebrew again.

  • [x] ran brew update and can still reproduce the problem?
  • [x] ran brew doctor, fixed all issues and can still reproduce the problem?
  • [x] ran brew config and brew doctor and included their output with your issue?

What you were trying to do (and why)

I was trying to install [email protected] on Linuxbrew. I had previously tried to repair my Linux install and probably pressed ^C at the step where patchelf was being installed. My assumption is that patchelf did not install properly.

What happened (include command output)

An unexpected error was visible in the logsfor almost every install: "Error: no implicit conversion of nil into String", and then it was trying to compile everything.


Command output



❯ brew install [email protected] --verbose --debug

Warning: "config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
`./configure` scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
software packages are installed, and which additional flags to use when
compiling and linking.

Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew-provided
script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts:
  /home/johannes/anaconda3/bin/libpng-config
  /home/johannes/anaconda3/bin/python3-config
  /home/johannes/anaconda3/bin/pcre-config

Error location

I fixed it in the end by tracing down the actual step that failed with:

HOMEBREW_DEVELOPER=true brew install [email protected] --debug --verbose --force-bottle

and following the traceback to this line:

https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/Library/Homebrew/extend/os/linux/keg_relocate.rb#L21

Turns out that patchelf was not located, and the result of the locate call was nil. After fixing patchelf, I could install any packages again.

Just wanted to report this to you so you could take according actions:

  • Either report an error in the logs if patchelf is missing, when trying to install openssl (which is a dependency for many packages), or
  • simply report that the user needs to install patchelf again.

Thanks for the report, @boxmein!

@rmNULL, looks fixes for the following would be easy to throw together:

Either report an error in the logs if patchelf is missing, when trying to install openssl (which is a dependency for many packages), or
simply report that the user needs to install patchelf again.

I.e.:

  • We should report an error (maybe with odie?) if locate returns nil for patchelf
  • We should augment that error with an instruction telling the user to install patchelf

@boxmein
i wish u were more explicit about

press Ctrl+C at some moment

i tried ctrl + c at various points in install.
I wasn't able to reproduce the bug.
The requested descriptive error message is provided in a temporary fix
What bothers me is, if patchelf is not installed, it should automatically be detected as a dependency and be installed. It isn't happening in your case, which prolly means the bug is lurking somewhere else too....

Fixed by PR https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/7656 once it's merged. Thanks for the bug report, @boxmein.

@rmNULL Thanks for the feedback! I didn't really time it sadly.
