I believe 10.6 goes back well before 2011, but that’s beside the point - just haven’t heard someone running that old a version of OSX. I doubt that 1.8.4 supports it, or that homebrew built it and tested it on something that old (I know we don’t).
Only thing I can suggest is perhaps getting your own tarball and trying to build it yourself and see if that works. Ensure you have —enable-debug on the configure line so you can turn on diagnostics if you hit a problem. > On Feb 17, 2015, at 8:36 AM, Tarandeep Kalra <taranka...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It is a 2011 Macbook pro.
