SUMMARY I tried to install Valgrind on my macOS computer OS10 Mojave using Homebrew. However, when I tried to install it, I got an error thrown back at me in the terminal stating that Valgrind will only work with Darwin versions 10 - 17 but not 18. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Tried to install Valgrind by running 'brew install valgrind' in terminal, but this was returned: 'valgrind: This formula either does not compile or function as expected on macOS versions newer than Sierra due to an upstream incompatibility.' 2. Followed the instructions on this site: https://www.gungorbudak.com/blog/2018/04/28/how-to-install-valgrind-on-macos-high-sierra/ 3. Contacted Homebrew with the issue and they told me to contact the developers for Valgrind OBSERVED RESULT This is what I got back in the terminal after running 'brew install --HEAD valgrind': $ brew install --HEAD valgrind Updating Homebrew... ==> Auto-updated Homebrew!
