Rsvg and Cairo won't build - looks like homebrew problem

[gtollefson]

When updating homebrew my installations of Rsvg and Cairo were updated with build errors. I have tried Pkg.checkout and building again but receive the same errors:

julia> Pkg.build("Rsvg")

What version of Julia and Homebrew are you using? And what version of macOS are you using?

[gtollefson]

@staticfloat thank you for the response, sorry for getting back to you late.

I'm using Julia Version 0.6.3 on MacOS High Sierra Version 10.13.2. My home brew info is as follows:

Homebrew 1.8.6-36-gf050e42
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 4c889; last commit 2018-12-24)
Homebrew/homebrew-cask (git revision ba6f2; last commit 2018-12-24)

Hi @staticfloat,

I haven't resolved this installation issue yet. I tried the fixes recommended in #189. I also tried following the fix recommended here: [https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/Cairo.jl/issues/232]

Do you have any suggestions?

[krcolbert]

Any new solutions to this? I receive the same errors.

Getting the same error on Mojave, latest everything. Is there any guidance on this? (Is the package still being maintained?)
