2020  edition For me  it was installing icu4c with the needed version  If you need to install the old version like version 62   same steps for else versions   you need to   Create your own repo  or find someones repo  with this version of brew tap  links are different for every version    version 62 https   raw githubusercontent com Homebrew homebrew-core 575eb4bbef683551e19f329f60456b13a558132f Formula icu4c rb  version 64 https   raw githubusercontent com Homebrew homebrew-core a806a621ed3722fb580a58000fb274a2f2d86a6d Formula icu4c rb   version 66 https   raw githubusercontent com Homebrew homebrew-core 22fb699a417093cd1440857134c530f1e3794f7d Formula icu4c rb  version 67 https   raw githubusercontent com Homebrew homebrew-core 88b9cc789820f2f544d8d4a1053eebb044c2926c Formula icu4c rb    yourUsername  homebrew-versions Formula  Place downloaded file to  Formula  folder brew tap  yourUsername  homebrew-versions brew install  yourUsername  homebrew-versions icu4c You got it   Where  yourUsername  is the name of your GitHub account or person who already have the needed version tap   Unfortunately  latest homebrew gives no longer a warning and now displays the error  Error  Calling Installation of XXX from a GitHub commit URL is disabled  Use  brew extract XXX  to stable tap on GitHub instead  So the way to go now is to create a new repo on github called homebrew-versions to host the Formula in a Tap Then initialise it with  brew tap-new MYORG homebrew-versions after git cloning the homebrew repo as suggested by Shine Hugh  copy paste the raw ruby file to your new Formula  Beware the funny naming convention  Example  File name is  gettext 0 20 2 rb Class name is  GettextAT0202 Example  https   github com nedap homebrew-versions source https   itnext io how-to-install-an-older-brew-package-add141e58d32

Just brew remove php and brew install php did not work  nor did brew reinstall php  My solution was to do   brew remove php cd  usr local Cellar rm -rf php  brew install php brew doctor brew cleanup   Now php -v gives me   PHP 7 3 2  cli   built  Feb 14 2019 10 08 45    NTS

Leland s answer worked for me  but I had to change steps 4 and 6 to   4  git checkout -B icu4c-62 1 575eb4b  6  brew reinstall Formula icu4c rb

Rather than install an old version of icu4c that the older  precompiled  php can link to  it s better to recompile the old php to link to the more recent library   brew uninstall php 7 2 brew install --build-from-source php 7 2   This will build php and link it to the newer library  I found reinstall didn t quite work  the new install choked when the destination folder already existed   I also did brew link --force php 7 2 for my environment

In my case I had to switch between two versions of icu4c since I still maintain PHP 5 6 projects  which use the old icu4c 64 2   brew install and reinstall from raw  rb links always replaces the previously installed versions for some reason   fetching 64 2 brew fetch https   raw githubusercontent com Homebrew homebrew-core a806a621ed3722fb580a58000fb274a2f2d86a6d Formula icu4c rb    fetching stable version brew fetch https   raw githubusercontent com Homebrew homebrew-core master Formula icu4c rb   cd   brew --cache  downloads tar xvfz e2a83648f37dc5193016ce14fa6faeb97460258b214e805b1d7ce8956e83c1a7--icu4c-64 2 catalina bottle tar gz tar xvfz e045a709e2e21df31e66144a637f0c77dfc154f60183c89e6b04afa2fbda28ba--icu4c-67 1 catalina bottle tar gz mv -n icu4c 67 1   brew --cellar  icu4c  mv -n icu4c 64 2   brew --cellar  icu4c   then switch between versions   brew switch icu4c 64 2 Cleaning  usr local Cellar icu4c 64 2 Cleaning  usr local Cellar icu4c 67 1 Opt link created for  usr local Cellar icu4c 64 2    brew switch icu4c 67 1 Cleaning  usr local Cellar icu4c 64 2 Cleaning  usr local Cellar icu4c 67 1 Opt link created for  usr local Cellar icu4c 67 1

Turns out I  like  Grey Black  had to actually install v62 1 of icu4c  Nothing else worked  However  brew switch icu4c 62 1 only works if you have installed 62 1 in the past  If you haven t there s more legwork involved  Homebrew does not make it easy to install previous versions of formulae  Here s how I did it   We first need a deep clone of the Homebrew repo  This may take a while  git -C   brew --repo homebrew core  fetch --unshallow brew log icu4c to track down a commit that references 62 1  575eb4b does the trick  cd   brew --repo homebrew core  git checkout 575eb4b -- Formula icu4c rb brew uninstall  --ignore-dependencies icu4c brew install icu4c You should now have the correct version of the dependency  Now just to    git reset  amp  amp  git checkout   Cleanup your modified recipe  brew pin icu4c Pin the dependency to prevent it from being accidentally upgraded in the future  If you decide you do want to upgrade it at some point  make sure to run brew unpin icu4c

Got this error  too  after installing php 7 3  I had it resolved upgrading just my old php s versions  5 6 and 7 0  not from the official repos    The maintainers had compiled new php versions against the current icu4c    In my case  PHP 7 got from 0 31 to 0 33  and the problem was solved

I just wanted to leave a detail summary on how to fix this issue at the current moment  this worked for me   First go to the local installation of homebrew cd  usr local Homebrew   Homebrew  gt  2 5 remove the option to install formulas directly from git repos so we need to checkout an older version git checkout 2 3 0  Install icu4c version  in my case 64 2 was compitable with php 7 1  HOMEBREW NO AUTO UPDATE 1 brew install https   raw githubusercontent com Homebrew homebrew-core a806a621ed3722fb580a58000fb274a2f2d86a6d Formula icu4c rb  Go back to current version of homebrew git checkout -  Tell brew to use the old version of icu4c this way you can chose wich version to use if you have both intalled brew switch icu4c 64 2

User · Answer

In my case  that happened because icu4c was upgraded to version 63 but my locally installed postgres image still referenced icu4c 62 1  Therefore i had to change the icu4c version used    brew info icu4c  brew switch icu4c  lt version gt    Where version is the the installed version returned by info

Update - As stated in some of the comments  running brew cleanup could possibly fix this error  if that alone doesn t fix it  you might try upgrading individual packages or all your brew packages   I just had this same problem  Upgrading Homebrew and then cleaning up worked for me  This error likely showed up for me because of a mismatch in package versions  None of the above solutions resolved my error  but running the following homebrew commands did   Caution - This will upgrade all your brew packages  including  but not limited to PHP  If you only want to upgrade specific packages make sure to be specific   brew upgrade    for upgrading all packages -- this is the command I used  brew upgrade  package     for upgrading a specific package  and finally brew cleanup

I am actually quite surprised that this solution has not been presented yet  and I feel like it is the easiest solution   Go to GitHub  find the version of the brewfile that matches the version of icu4c that you need and get the raw version of the file  follow the links above and click View File then Raw    Then just have brew reinstall from that url   For example  version 62 1   brew reinstall https   raw githubusercontent com Homebrew homebrew-core 575eb4bbef683551e19f329f60456b13a558132f Formula icu4c rb   For example  version 64 2   brew reinstall https   raw githubusercontent com Homebrew homebrew-core a806a621ed3722fb580a58000fb274a2f2d86a6d Formula icu4c rb

Seems like it is impossible to link icu4c using brew after latest OS X update  Which makes things more interesting  The only solution I found working for me    Download and compile icu4c 62 1 to  usr local icu4c 62 1   mkdir   sources cd   sources wget http   download icu-project org files icu4c 62 1 icu4c-62 1-src tgz tar xvzf icu4c-62 1-src tgz cd icu source   sudo mkdir  usr local icu4c 62 1   configure --prefix  usr local icu4c 62 1 make sudo make install    Link libs    ln -s  usr local icu4c 62 1 lib   dylib  usr local include     Set DYLD LIBRARY PATH in    bash profile    export DYLD LIBRARY PATH  usr local include

I actually tried all of the solutions which made sense  mentioned in this post and yet i still got the same error when running php -v or composer  The node version was fine  npm as well there were no issues on having installed correct versions and they were all running  Running reinstall php 7 1 just threw an error  In the end i had to run  brew reinstall icu4c  This basically worked  with me having to manually then install php dependencies such as imagick so  imap so As these libraries were installed for a project that i no longer maintain i can go without them  But if you do have dependancies on them  have in mind that there will be more work to do afterwards
