Answer 1

After searching for a long time, this solved it for me:

brew reinstall ncurses

Answer 2

I suspect you are running into problems while working with Homebrew on MacOSX. I am actually saying this because I have just run into the exact same situation.

The problem comes after upgrading my MacOSX version to Maverick from Mountain Lion while having already installed Homebrew (of course this may apply to previous and future upgrades). After the upgrade you will need also:

• Reinstall the XCode tools

• Run an update on Homebrew

  brew update

• Run a general upgrade of your Homebrew packages

  brew upgrade

• Make sure you do not have any other problems on your installation

  brew doctor

Finally you may find that certain packages are failing due to missing libraries, which seems to be the case you are describing. The idea here is to reinstall the library missing using the brew command.

In your case you would need to reinstall the gdbm library by performing the next steps on your terminal:

brew uninstall gdbm
brew install gdbm

That should fix it.
