How to fix missing library after update and upgrade of Homebrew - node.js

I decided to update and upgrade Homebrew on a Friday afternoon (because why not) and it appears to have resulted in a missing library that's affecting my ability to run pretty much everything (PHP, Laravel Valet, Node, etc...) The error message on each is the same, so I'm hoping this is a simple fix, but I'm not sure where to begin.

They all appear to be looking for the library in /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicui18n.61.dylib
** EDIT **
I ran the brew command suggested by Styx and here is the output:
Chriss-MacBook-Pro-2:~ chris$ brew link icu4c
Warning: Refusing to link macOS-provided software: icu4c
If you need to have icu4c first in your PATH run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/icu4c/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/icu4c/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
For compilers to find icu4c you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/icu4c/include"
Adding icu4c to my path is easy enough, but I'm not sure what to do about the second part asking to me to set
** Update **
Here is the output from running ls -l /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/

It seems your icu4c has been upgraded, but your php/node are still refer to an older version.
You can:
Reinstall software which depends on icu4c:
brew uses --installed icu4c | xargs brew reinstall
Switch to using older version of icu4c:
brew switch icu4c 61.2

PostgreSQL create extension mongo_fdw

I want to connect a PostgreSQL database with a MongoDB by using Mongo_fdw. After following this instruction to install mongo_fdw with the autogen.sh script on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, I wanted to check the connection and ran CREATE EXTENSION mongo_fdw; in my database, but the following error occured:
ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/mongo_fdw": No such file or directory
Searchig for a solution I found this page on GitHub, where the same error is discussed. Following the recommendations there, I checked pg_config --version, pg_config --libdir and pg_config --sharedir with the following results:
$ pg_config --version
PostgreSQL 12.9
$ pg_config --libdir
/home/qgis/anaconda3/lib
$ pg_config --sharedir
/home/qgis/anaconda3/share
When I check /home/qgis/anaconda3/share/extension I get the following files:

I also ran ldconfig as it is recommended on the GitHub page but with no results.
Does someone has an idea how to solve this error?
Thanks in advance!
You have to specify the correct pg_config when building the software, probably
make PG_CONFIG=/usr/lib/postgresql/14/bin/pg_config
That file should exist if you installed the package with the C headers, which is typically called "devel" or "dev" or similar.

'uvloop' has no attribute 'EventLoopPolicy'

I am testing python code performance with uvloop. I am getting 'uvloop' has no attribute 'EventLoopPolicy' error.
I am using python 3.7 and
uvloop 0.13.0
pycharm
I tried changing interpreter reinstalling uvloop but none of them did not work.
Can anyone suggest what is the problem?
Rename your own file to something else than uvloop.py, such as test_uvloop.py.
You're confusing Python's import machinery by having your own file the same name as the library you're trying to use.
I see that you're on a Mac, but I just fixed this problem on my CentOS7.x server by properly setting permissions to the uvloop Python package. It's pesky because (at least on CentOS) some pip-installed Python packages go in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages and some go in /usr/local/lib64/python3.7/site-packages.
Check out what the files in my lib64 directory looked like before I fixed it:

Unless I was running as a root user the uvloop files are untouchable and that's what caused the error. On your Mac, try to find where your uvloop package is installed and make sure your script can access it.

How to update homebrew in preparation for installing node/npm on macOS Mojave

I attempted to install node.js/npm onto a macbook running Mojave 10.14.5 so that I can do local development of a web app. From internet research my understanding is the first step is updating homebrew in preparation for installation but I got the error "Error: /usr/local must be writable!" when I ran:
brew update
I searched the internet and other people appeared to have the command below fix the problem, but for me that didn't work and I still got the error.
sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)/*
Can anyone offer any advice as to what I can do so that I can update brew and install node.js/npm? Is the brew update required or should I just skip that step?
Below is the output from brew --prefix that may help...

Mongodb service fails after reboot

I am trying to setup a replicaset for my dev environment, and have three machines running debian 9.3 stretch with a mongod service. The replicaset is working, and all seems okay.
But when I reboot one of the servers the mongod service doesn't come up. When I check the status it says it failed status=48

That is the whole output message?
Check if the default mongod port(27017) is not in use.
netstat -a
Or try starting in a different port
mongod --fork --port 8000
MongoDB defines exit code 48 as: "A newly started mongod or mongos could not start listening for incoming connections, due to an error."
You have pasted just the status output for the MongoDB service. For the full logs of a service on a systemd based system, you should review the systemd journal output:
journalctl -u mongod
As Lucca suggested, the problem may be something else is already running on the port when you are trying to start.
Check that you are't also trying to start MongoDB via Upstart or SysVInit by looking for MongoDB files in /etc/init and /etc/init.d. If any are found, move them somewhere else so that only the systemd service file is being used to start the service.
a#a-57:~$ sudo systemctl stop mongod.service
a#a-57:~$ sudo systemctl start mongod.service

Somehow it's dangerous to edit the rc files under /etc in these modern days. And people would prefer to use system command API as we knew.
You need to edit etc/rc.local in order for it to start on boot up
Just add service mongod start to end of the rc.local file

Linux Build Package - Configure Script Throws Error, But it's Wrong

Server: SLES v11 sp3
Kernel: 3.0.101-0.47.71-default
Arch: x86_64
So I am trying to build a src package and when I run the "./configure" script it's throwing some errors that required packages are missing. Since it's x86_64 I thought adding "--libdir=/usr/lib64" or "--libdir=/lib64" would help it find the packages it's looking for but I get the same error either way.
The configure Script is failing with this error:
..........

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GEDIT_CFLAGS
and GEDIT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I checked to make sure I actually have these packages and it seems as though I do. So I'm not sure if it's just not finding them or what... And it also seems as though I have versions of those packages >= what they are asking for, so I'm kinda stumped...

Anyone have any ideas what the issue could be here? I'm not sure what else to try..?
I had also tried installing the RPM based package but get similar errors for missing packages. See RPM Installation error below...
warning: gedit-plugins-2.28.0-2.el6.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID c105b9de
error: Failed dependencies:

rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by gedit-plugins-2.28.0-2.el6.x86_64
If anyone has ANY thoughts or suggestions please feel free to reply, it would be much very appreciated!
Thanks in Advance,

Well I was unable to resolve those errors directly with compiling... However, we have another server with the same OS and everything that already had that package installed (which added more to my confusion why it wasn't working) so to just give it a try I copied that server's directory "/usr/lib64/gedit-2/plugins" to the one I was working on and now everything seems to be working just fine. All the plugins were able to be activated and they seem to work.!
The contents of the directory that I copied over were:
/usr/lib64/gedit-2/plugins # ll
total 700

And since all these plugins seem to be working without any issuse I guess the configure script was wrong about the missing requirements as I had thought...
Thanks anyways....!
