Return to readline version 6.x in Homebrew to fix Postgresql?

Question

I\'m no Homebrew expert but I think it has \"upgraded\" me from readline version 6.x to 7.0 sometime after 9/15/16:

eat@eric-macbook:Homebrew$ brew info read         


        

Answer 1

NOTE: This answer might be outdated due to the changes in the branch (as reported by Andrew, the commit disappear)

To those who still facing this issue but cannot download the readline 6.3.8 from the homebrew package. You can try this solution. (Refer from here)

# Uninstall this incompatible version
brew uninstall readline

# Go to the local clone of homebrew-core
cd $(brew --prefix)/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core

# Move to the homebrew-core revision that had 6.3.8
git checkout 35fed817726f61a9d40c8420582f6fde59eb5f14

# Re-install readline
brew reinstall readline

# Switch back to HEAD
git checkout master

# Pin readline so this can't happen again
brew pin readline
