Homebrew will not run wget command (Library not loaded)

Question

I received the following message when I try to use wget command after installation on Homebrew (running Mac High Sierra 10.13).

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/gettext/lib/libintl.8.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/wget
  Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6

I tried to reinstall wget. Issue still persists.

Solution 1

wget gave me that error after migrating to a new macbook. What worked for me was

brew uninstall --force gettext
brew install gettext

Solution 2

brew uninstall wget
brew install wget

solved me both gettext and git clone issues.

Solution 3

You can fix it by reinstall gettext

brew reinstall gettext

Solution 4

A simple reinstall of "wget" fixed this issue in my case.

brew reinstall wget

Solution 5

Actually, I have tried a lot of methods, but the command brew reinstall wget solved my problems at last.

Tried this on Mojave, did not fix the issue. If I come up with a solution I'll update here.

Doing this after creating the Cellar and opt folder it needs inside /usr/local and assigning myself as the owner, helped. Thanks for the commands :)

@Montag Dude. Dont give false hope

I never did find a solution, I found another way to solve my personal program problem. There was no false hope given, just honesty. I didn't find it so I didn't post it.
