Then growlnotify fails:

I see this issue as well; however, all we are doing is copying the pre-compiled binary into place, so this issue should be taken to the growlnotify project.

[jacknagel]

Actually, it looks like 1.3 is a Lion-only build; are you on Snow Leopard, by chance?

[junkblocker]

Yes, I am on Snow Leopard.

[jacknagel]

Okay. Well short of putting a conditional in the formula to fall back to an older version on Leopard/Snow Leopard, the workaround is to:

$ cd $(brew --prefix)
$ brew versions growlnotify
1.3      git checkout 2e23ced /usr/local/Library/Formula/growlnotify.rb
1.2.2    git checkout 5fb24f5 /usr/local/Library/Formula/growlnotify.rb
1.2      git checkout 0476235 /usr/local/Library/Formula/growlnotify.rb
$ git checkout 5fb24f5 /usr/local/Library/Formula/growlnotify.rb
$ brew install growlnotify

(Note that if you have Homebrew installed somewhere besides /usr/local, that part will be different.)

Can we compile this from source? If not, we should consider removing it from Homebrew given the OS issues.

[jacknagel]

I don't see a source download anywhere, +1 for removal.

[junkblocker]

+1 for removal unless https://bitbucket.org/pmetzger/growl is acceptable and can be made to work for more than just Lion.

[adamv]

Removed.

Source download here: http://growl.info/documentation/developer/growl-source-install.php

[adamv]

Requiring Lion is a non-starter since we currently also support Snow Leopard.

[aslilac]

Even if it had Snow Leopard support I would be against it. I posted the link purely because @jacknagel said he didn't see one.

[adamv]

Gotcha.
