Have problem with installation, if Homebrew is already installed. Rake gets aborted about maximum-awesome HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @WarFox. To test whether you have Homebrew installed, we do which brew. That command should reveal where the bin actually lives. That must have failed, possibly because /usr/local/bin/ is not added to your $PATH.

Try adding something like this to your .bash_profile

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Hi @strongriley, thanks for the response. Running which brew in the terminal gives me /usr/local/bin/brew

And my $PATH has /usr/local/bin/

This is my complete $PATH

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:/Users/deepu/.rbenv/shims:\
/Users/deepu/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0/bin:/Users/deepu/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0@global/bin:\
/Users/deepu/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p0/bin:/Users/deepu/.rvm/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:\
/usr/local/bin:$GROOVY_HOME/bin:~/tools/scripts:.

So there seems to be some other problem. Do you have any thoughts?

maybe brew update failed.
I installed subversion in an old version, then it failed when using brew update command.

brew update
terror: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
Library/Formula/subversion.rb
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting
Error: Failure while executing: git pull -q origin refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

I commented the code, it's ok.

unless system('which brew > /dev/null && brew update || ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"')
# raise "Homebrew must be installed before continuing."
end

same problem here... homebrew already installed - rake failed.

It appears Homebrew is already installed. If your intent is to reinstall you
should do the following before running this installer again:
    rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
rake aborted!
Homebrew must be installed before continuing.

Thank you @stone2083. As you said the brew update was failing.

brew update
error: transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining while accessing https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
fatal: HTTP request failed
Error: Failure while executing: git pull -q origin refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

This should be some temporary issue with brew update.

I commented the following lines(56,57,58) in Rakefile and successfully ran rake.

step 'Homebrew'
#unless system('which brew > /dev/null && brew update || ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"')
#raise "Homebrew must be installed before continuing."
#end

Now my vim looks awesome!

Thanks again for the awesomeness.

same problem here, thanks @WarFox , after commenting line56,57,58 it works as well,

from maximum-awesome.

I went in a fixed some of the HomeBrew complaints - then this stuff ran just fine... didn't have to delete those lines myself. Working now! thanks. ( obviously tho anyone with Homebrew issues needs to fix those first before doing this )

from maximum-awesome.

Sorry about that. Should be fixed by #44 that just got merged in.

Closing. (Please re-open if that didn't fix it.)
