MacOS Installing LROSE - qt5 error

#1

Hi, I am trying to install LROSE-Core on MacOS Monterey and keep getting the following error

– Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Do not report this issue to Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/homebrew-core!

I tried setting all the paths as suggested in the qt5 paths. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling qt5 and keep getting the same error.

Any suggestions how to get past this error?

Thanks

For posterity’s sake, here are some comments from the offline discussion:

The standard locations for qt5 in homebrew seem to be:
/usr/local/Cellar/qt@5 (older hardware)
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5 (M1, M2)
It seems odd that homebrew is in:
/Users/hvagasky/homebrew/Cellar
I wonder if Hannah has installed homebrew in a non-standard way?
The docs are here:
https://github.com/NCAR/lrose-core/blob/master/docs/download/install_using_homebrew.mac_osx.md

The solution was to uninstall brew and re-install everything from the beginning so that brew would be in the proper location.
