brew install php55-intl fails, Cant Install Composer

Question

I'm trying to install npm install && grunt, however it tells me that I need composer. I'm trying to install composer but that's dependent on php55.

I've tried brew install php55, php55-intl, php56, php56-intl, etc.

I am reading the instructions from here: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md

It states that for a Mac I should simply use brew commands:

brew update brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php brew tap homebrew/dupes brew tap homebrew/versions brew install php55-intl #fails here brew install homebrew/php/composer

I am getting the following error:

brew install php55-intl ==> Installing dependencies for php55-intl: php55, icu4c ==> Installing php55-intl dependency: php55 ==> Downloading http://www.php.net/get/php-5.5.15.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/php55-5.5.15 ==> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/php55/5.5.15 --localstatedir=/usr/local/var --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/php/5.5 --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc/php/5.5 --with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/etc/php/5.5/conf.d -- checking for png_write_image in -lpng... yes If configure fails try --with-xpm-dir= checking for fabsf... yes checking for floorf... yes configure: error: GD build test failed.

Does anyone know another work around? I've tried curl commands but they never run, and I can't run the exe on my mac.

Thanks!

Solution:

• Upgrade to the latest version of XCode
• Make sure you reinstall XCode CLT: xcode-select --install
• Update your formulae: brew update
• Remove zlib: brew rm zlib
• Install / reinstall php55: brew install php55 (as zlib is a dependency, it will be reinstalled)

Followed by brew install composer

I needed to update my Xcode, and then everything ran.
