zsh: segmentation fault ffmpeg about homebrew-ffmpeg

[retokromer]

I just have installed a few minutes ago on macOS 10.15 with all options enabled and it worked fine. Do you have more information?

[TheElectroclassics]

sadly no, I really don't know how to troubleshoot this, since, as I stated in my original comment, it did installed correctly on a second machine. The only difference was that conda wasn't installed. I want to believe that the conda installed ffmepg was the one with the simlink (is that was it's called?).

I don't think we will be able to help you without any details. Please provide the exact command you are running, and any command line output you are getting when it's showing the segmentation fault. Adding the output from brew --config and brew doctor will help, too.

`Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers

working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!

Warning: A newer Command Line Tools release is available.
Update them from Software Update in System Preferences or run:
softwareupdate --all --install --force

If that doesn't show you an update run:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
sudo xcode-select --install

Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar.
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause brews that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run brew link on these:
pkg-config
libtool
vde
libssh2
libusb

Warning: Homebrew's sbin was not found in your PATH but you have installed
formulae that put executables in /usr/local/sbin.
Consider setting the PATH for example like so:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc`

after typing ffmpeg and hitting enter
zsh: segmentation fault ffmpeg

The output of brew doctor gives you tasks to accomplish.

[TheElectroclassics]

still, segmentation fault

[TheElectroclassics]

ran every task requiered by brew doctor, removed ffmpeg and reinstalled with this tap, and I still get the same error

[slhck]

Just to check, what does which -a ffmpeg output?

Also, echo $PATH just for completeness.

I'd like to make sure that the ffmpeg you're attempting to run is the one installed via this formula.

[TheElectroclassics]

Solved.

Here's what I did:

Reinstalled Command Line Tools
Uninstalled ffmepg from this tap
Installed ffmepg from homebrew
Removed ffmpeg from homebrew
Reinstalled ffmpeg from this tap.
