Unexpected header files:

Question

I'm getting unexpected header files with the

brew doctor

I tried brew doctor and then I get a huge list of files. I'm not sure if they are safe to delete or how I would delete them in the first place

brew doctor

Answer 1

Sorry I'm little bit late, but I had the same problem. First brew uninstall node

brew uninstall node

then I removed the Unbrewed files and then downloaded node again.

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/include/node/android-ifaddrs.h
sudo cleanup
brew install node 
brew doctor

Hope it helps!
