dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/tidy-html5/lib/libtidy.5.dylib

I have problem with my php on mac, previously I had 2 php versions php7.3 and php7.2. for some reason I uninstalled them then reinstall php7.2. when I run brew link php@7.2 and php -v I'm getting message dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/tidy-html5/lib/libtidy.5.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/opt/php@7.2/bin/php I already run command brew update brew upgrade php reinstall php@7.2 but I'm getting same error message.

Had the same problem, after switching php@7.4 (back) to php 7.2

Reinstall php@7.2 didn't help. What did help was:

brew reinstall tidy-html5

OK, I am sure this is not the right way to do it, but it worked for me. I believe it may have to do with PHP 7.2 reaching end of life and things not installing correctly as it's now deprecated upstream.

I went ahead and looked at the /usr/local/opt/tidy-html5/lib/ folder and indeed libtidy.5.dylib was not there... but libtidy.5.8.0.dylib was. So I just symlinked the dylib I had to libtidy.5.dylib like so:

ln -s /usr/local/opt/tidy-html5/lib/libtidy.5.8.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/tidy-html5/lib/libtidy.5.dylib

And that worked great!

There were a few other libraries that needed the same treatment within the /usr/local/opt/openldap/lib/ folder, but it was the same idea. Look in the folder where it's failing to find the library and it might just be named with a more specific version number. ln -s them (or even cp or mv them) to match the file that PHP is looking for and you'll be good to go.

In my case, i had to uninstall php@7.2 with brew. If you have some related configuration in ./bash_profile o similar, dont forget check it in order to avoid misconfiguration issues
