For anyone getting this error stemming from awk on macOS with Homebrew you probably need to update "gawk" (GNU awk).

brew upgrade gawk

worked for me in case of config.status: error: could not create libbitcoinconsensus.pc while building script for bitcoin

Thank you @eriknomitch. I prefer to upgrade than linking to the old one ;)

If the error you're getting is this:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.dylib
...you'll need this variant instead:
ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.8.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.dylib
(Note: Using Mac OS 10.13.5)

Same here, and this was the fix. Oh I actually did 8 instead of 8.0 and that works too.

ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.8.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.dylib

And just in case it helps with people finding this thread, I'll mention I hit the error when I was installing shutit (https://github.com/ianmiell/shutit) (I will also note this over on their end)

Brilliant! Works perfectly macOS 10.14.3.

Awesome!

If you have the error with ruby and RVM, reinstalling the affected version of ruby will fix it. ie rvm reinstall 2.6.1

How to find version of readline you have installed:

brew info readline                                                                                  
readline: stable 8.0.0 [keg-only]

Then link your version to the one referenced by psql:

In my case: it was 6. This was the error I got:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.6.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/psql
  Reason: image not found

Then to link the referenced version with the one you have:

Backup old link
mv /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.6.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.6.dylib.bkp

Create new link
ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.8.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.6.dylib

Optional: Remove backed up link
rm /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.6.dylib.bkp

brew install readline
sudo cp /usr/local/Cellar/readline/8.0.0/lib/8 /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/

it works for me.

I really messed things up somewhere and had to do the following:

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies readline
brew install readline
ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.8.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.dylib

You may also need to do:

ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.8.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.6.dylib

A1vinSmith commented Jul 9, 2019

If you get /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.6.dylib: File exists when you run this, you can instead brew install readline and copy the version-specific files over: sudo cp /usr/local/Cellar/readline/7.0.3_1/lib/*.7.* /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/. It's messy, but it fixed it for me.

thanks, just need to brew reinstall readline

Had to do the same to link version 8
ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.8.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.7.dylib

Many thanks! 👍

Thanks, wondering what causes this

brunitob commented Jun 9, 2020

Woked! for version 8
