Unable to install Erlang 24.0.2 on macOS Mojave

[joeljuca]

I'm not sure if it's affected by the fact that I'm using macOS Mojave - but I'm including the information just in case.

So, whenever I run asdf list all erlang today I get 24.0.2 as the most recent version. If I try to install it, I got an error and the Erlang version is not installed at all:

$ asdf install erlang 24.0.2

The installation fails, and I can't see the given version when I run asdf list erlang.

I'm using macOS Mojave 10.14.6, zsh 5.8, and asdf v0.8.0-c6145d0:

$ zsh --version

For the ones reading this issue from mail clients: sorry, I pressed Enter too early accidentally, creating the issue without a proper description. It should look good now.

I'm having the same problem on Big Sur.

If either of you are on an M1 machine using a restored Time Machine backup of an Intel machine, make sure your Homebrew is installed in the /opts/homebrew directory!

@a8t nice!

I'm using a Mid-2014 MacBook w/an Intel Core i7 processor. And no Time Machine setup...

I hit the same problem as OP on Big Sur using 24.0 but 24.0.5 worked for me.

Closing this issue as it it similar to #207.
