Hi, sorry for the late reply. I made some changes in the brew formula so can you try again and let me know if it is fixed? I don't have a mac to test this

I have the same issue as the above.

From the errors, it seems that macOS is not able to link ncurses. I've added pkg-conifg as a dependency in the brew formula. Try updating the tap and reinstalling. I don't have a mac to test if this fixes the issue or not so keep me informed. Thanks!

Alas, I'm getting the same error as @Donkeyfish87 Brew tap is up-to-date (brew update, right?)

Seems like you're right that ncurses could not be found, here are the first lines from that make log:

cc `pkg-config --cflags ncurses` cf.c -o cfiles `pkg-config --libs ncurses`
Package ncurses was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `ncurses.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'ncurses' found

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

Should ncurses be manually installed / configured beforehand? Thanks
