If you want Homebrew to do so, run: cp "$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/etc/ld.so.conf.d/99-system-ld.so.conf.example" "$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/etc/ld.so.conf.d/99-system-ld.so.conf" brew postinstall glibc to append the system libraries to Homebrew's ld search paths. This is risky and **highly not recommended**, because it may cause linkage to Homebrew libraries mixed with system libraries. - Bottle: available on arm64_linux, x86_64_linux ## Freshness - Page generated: 2026-06-10 -
