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

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
