I am running Macos 10.10 , and I have already therion 5.3.16 installed via homebrew, as published in the wiki.

I am trying to updgrade Therion to the last version. However, I am facing some problems :

if I do a simple brew update, brew upgrade, brew tap homebrew/science, brew upgrade therion, I got the error : Error: homebrew/science/therion 5.3.16.reinstall already installed. Indeed, a brew edit therion says that the dowload url is the 5.3.16. This formula is not updated. I tried to update it and made some tests on my computer (see further down).
If I try the solution proposed by Ladislav (2017/04/06 email : brew upgrade https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ladislavb/homebrew-science/ladislavb-patch-5.4.0/therion.rb), I get the error : curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found. After a search on the web, I found that the url changed to https://github.com/ladislavb/homebrew-science/blob/master/therion.rb. If I do a brew upgrade with that url, I got this error :

brew install https://github.com/ladislavb/homebrew-science/blob/master/therion.rb

I downloaded the therion.rb from https://github.com/ladislavb/homebrew-science/blob/master/therion.rb. If I do a brew upgrade with the therion.rb downloaded, I get the error :

Error: inreplace failed

Makefile:

  expected replacement of "all: outdirs $(OUTDIR)/therion doc " with "all: outdirs $(OUTDIR)/therion "

I have the same error with the url https://github.com/therion/therion/archive/v5.4.1.tar.gz. Indeed, in 5.4.x, the line in the Makefile is : all: version outdirs $(OUTDIR)/therion doc

I thus changed the corresponding line in therion.rb (L21) by inreplace "Makefile", "all: version outdirs $(OUTDIR)/therion doc ", "all: outdirs $(OUTDIR)/therion ". When I run brew upgrade —verbose therion.rb, I then got this error (after a while and a bunch of lines OK) :

I have the same error for both Therion 5.4.0 and 5.4.1. I checked in the therion-5.4.x folder, and the file thchencdata.cxx does not exists. It exists in the therion-5.1.16.

I am not a C/C++/Tex specialist. I am stuck there. Is it a bug ? Does this file exists elsewhere on the Macos system ? Do I need to add a :

inreplace "Makefile ", " thchencdata.cxx ", " "?
