ERROR: libmp3lame >= 3.98.3 not found about homebrew-ffmpeg

I see that this issue was raised previously and then closed due to lack of response from the issue's creator.

#51

Thank you for reporting!

[slhck]

I just quickly checked: We're not doing anything differently than the default Homebrew formula. Perhaps you can try uninstalling lame and ffmpeg and try again?

brew uninstall lame --force
brew uninstall homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg
brew install homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg

Could you otherwise show the complete log from /Users/booty/Library/Logs/Homebrew/ffmpeg/01.configure? We only see the final lines, as Homebrew truncates it.

I see that this issue was raised previously and then closed due to lack of response from the issue's creator.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to assist w.r.t. testing/debugging.

Unfortunately I'm pretty stupid when it comes to how homebrew/formulae actually work under the hood.

[booty]

@retokromer Thank YOU for the hard work buddy

[retokromer]

@booty What is your output of the following command?

brew info lame

[retokromer]

On my end, I have lame version 3.100 (bottled).

[booty]

[slhck]

Now another dependent package fails, Theora. Perhaps you can try uninstalling this one too?

[booty]

$ brew install theora
Warning: theora 1.1.1 is already installed and up-to-date.
To reinstall 1.1.1, run:
  brew reinstall theora
/Volumes/Stubby512/Dropbox/Music and Media/Lossless/Compilations/Creation Soup/Creation Soup Volume Two (2.7.1)
$ brew reinstall theora
[it succeeds]

and then....

brew install homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac

...success! 🎉

Thanks so much for the help. Certainly seems like it was a homebrew issue and not with your tap. (Which makes your time doubly appreciated)

But, what do you suppose the root issue was there?

[slhck]

Glad you got it figured out. I'm not sure, I assume these packages have been installed a while ago and couldn't be properly resolved during configure time. I don't know why it happened though.

[booty]

@slhck Makes sense. Those packages were installed a while back, possibly as far back as late 2018 soon after I acquired this Mac. Thanks once again for your help and generosity.

[scribblemaniac]

This could have happened if the dependencies were installed, but not linked properly. Brew doctor should have found it if that was the issue, but I don't know exactly how they do that check. It could also be that some of these library files were modified or removed by some non-brew installation you did at some point.
