Currently there is no newer version than 1.1-beta3 released which contains this check.

The simplest fix would be to open the bin/bootstrap.js file and remove these lines or replacing the lines that are currently in the master branch:

(function (version) {
    // required version check
    if (version.major === 1) {
        if (version.minor < 8) {
            return __die('CasperJS needs at least PhantomJS v1.8 or later.');
        }
        if (version.minor === 8 && version.patch < 1) {
            return __die('CasperJS needs at least PhantomJS v1.8.1 or later.');
        }
    } else if (version.major === 2) {
        console.log("Warning PhantomJS v2.0 not yet released. There will not be any official support for any bugs until stable version is released!");
    }
    else return __die('CasperJS needs PhantomJS v1.x or v2.x');
})(phantom.version);

The other option would be to install CasperJS from git.

Modifying /usr/local/Cellar/casperjs/1.1-beta3/libexec/bin/bootstrap.js does not work for me. I tried but some other problems remain (Could not get casperPath and version correctly).

This issue is already fixed in master branch. Installing from git would solve this problem.

Try

> git clone git://github.com/n1k0/casperjs.git
> cd casperjs
> ln -sf `pwd`/bin/casperjs /usr/local/bin/casperjs

It fix my casperjs perfectly.

I was having the same problem. Replacing the phantomJS executable in /usr/local/bin with that from version 1.9.8 did the trick for me.
