I’m currently setting up my dev-env after reinstalling macOS. On installing Erlang via ASDF I get the following warnings: [asdf-erlang] ⚠️ Warning: fop is optional and not installed. Please install it using 'brew install fop'. [asdf-erlang] ⚠️ Warning: unixodbc is optional and not installed. Please…

Comments on your top warnings: I used to install fop for the documentation, but since I don’t rely on it anymore (except the online one) I don’t, so don’t care about that warning Similar goes to unixodbc: I used to install it to have it locally for a bit of testing, but these days don’t rely on it…

Thanks Paulo! Hopefully if anyone else wonders the same in future the thread will pop up should they google it :icon_biggrin:

I tried updating my asdf emacs from 27.1.2 to 28.1.1 but then wx-widgets failed to work. It couldn’t fund wxe_server. Removing 28.1.1 and reinstalling 27.1.2 didn’t help. What I had to do was to revert to using brew erlang instead. It also complained about wx but after reinstalling wxwidgets it wor…

[image] rvirding: I have no idea what is going on but it seems to work now. :grinning_face: Glad it’s working now but have you considered doing a clean macOS install? I do these periodically around every second release of each new macOS (if I am upgrading to it). Sometimes I’ll leave it a few…

I guess you maybe really want to build from source, but you can also get pre-built binaries which install in seconds (I prefer to install these with Mise instead of asdf)

Unfortunately I can’t do a clean macos install, I have way too much on my disc. With the second one do I need to wipe what I have in brew? For some reason I was getting problems with asdf not being able to find brew wxwidgets. I will just leave it as it is, as it seems to work.

If you want to carry out a safe experiment leaving your main Mac’s drive intact you could either use a spare SSD (or buy a new one - just make sure it’s as big as your Mac’s drive) and install macOS on it, then boot up from it and then basically ‘reinstall’ all your apps, files, dev-env on that. Tha…

[image] AstonJ: It says they’re optional and has installed successfully but I don’t seem to recall the same warning last time I installed Erlang so curious what others think. For what it’s worth, we changed the output of asdf-erlang a while ago so it nicely prints any missing required or opti…
