Description of issue

For the past few weeks I have facing the following errors when I am trying to install neovim nightly 0.10 on Ubuntu using HOMEBREW

brew install neovim --head

I don't face errors when I use the stable version of neovim 0.9

brew install neovim

The errors I have received is as follows: Need help

You might be able to go CFLAGS=-fPIC brew install --head neovim I don't know if it will pass that environment variable all the way down to the gcc processes, but worth a shot.

[osalbahr]

My guess is that this has to do with your system’s gcc version. What does /usr/bin/gcc --version tell you?

[osalbahr]

Does running sudo apt-get install build-essential procps curl file git change the error message?

(This probably won’t help, but doesn’t hurt to double check)

Right now after couple of update it seems that the issue has been resolved. Thank you
