No worries on my part.

Exactly, under /usr/local… and without messing with the system installed binaries or libraries. Some things, like openssl libraries, it will not link automatically to avoid some issues with system provided libraries, but most things are then symlinked to the usual places to provide the brew installed binaries, etc.

It actually tracks dependencies very well… for anything installed and built with Homebrew. It’s a bit like speedo.mk for everything, or the missing apt-get for Mac, some things are “bottled” binaries, some things it’ll build for you, in any case pulling any dependencies as needed.

In this case when trying to build a tarred source brew is not in the picture at all and all dependency handling is manual / left for the source configure scripts. And things don’t quite work although the configure script gives an OK on the pre-make checklist.

I really have no rush with this. Just debugging for others and happily using the stable branch.

I can dig into this myself at some point. It’s also possible whoever is maintaining the homebrew repo for gnupg might solve the issue and push an update there.
