Homebrew already fixed that, you can just do a git pull in /usr/local.

Ah that might work too indeed, tried doing a homebrew update and that did not work, so fixed it like this and that worked too :-)

It's really nice to see this in the very first paragraph:

"Homebrew, for those who don’t know it is “the missing package manager for OS X” and really saves a lot of time and trouble trying to install software on your mac system."

Seems to be down. Google Cache: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:TfWANJ...

Even this takes ages to load, quick summary from article:

  Open the file brew.rb using the following command: vi /usr/local/Library/brew.rb
  Change the first line from: #!/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby -W0 to #!/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/ruby -W0
  Save and exit brew.rb

Heh, this comes hours after I resorted to reinstalling brew from scratch (which works, too).

Does anyone know why they hardcoded the location of the interpreter like that?

I just set it to /usr/bin/env ruby and it worked without having to do a git commit.

Yeah, I'm seeing issues with gcc failing to compile for x86_64 as well, for various packages. Whether this is 10.10 or Xcode 6 beta I have no idea yet (fwiw, I have both Xcode 5 and 6 installed).

Anyone else having issues with gcc though? Whenever I try to install new rubies w/ RVM, gcc46 is attempted to dl and brew freaks out.
