MacVim stopped working after update to v. 8.2.1424 (gettext) #1073
Description
After updating to 8.2.1424 (164), MacVim stopped working. The program runs, but no window is displayed.
When trying to run from the command line, this is what I see:
$ mvim dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/gettext/lib/libintl.8.dylib Referenced from: /Users/me/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim Reason: image not found Abort trap: 6
Until now, I have been using MacVim with the gettext that comes with homebrew:

I'm seeing different error on 10.13.6:
$ mvim
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/gettext/lib/libintl.8.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim
Reason: Incompatible library version: Vim requires version 11.0.0 or later, but libintl.8.dylib provides version 10.0.0
Abort trap: 6

There was an issue with the latest release with how the linkage is done and I’ll work to fix it in the next couple days. For now please use 163. I believe I should have reverted the updater to point to 163. Is that not the case?

I just followed the prompts from MacVim and it installed 164.
Downloaded 163 and that works fine. Thanks.

Right. I think there was roughly 2-3 hours where this slipped through before someone filed the issue and I reverted the version bump so I would need to confirm that’s the case. Sorry about that.
Edit: I tried and confirmed that we are no longer upgrading snapshot-163 to snapshot-164. I think you guys were unlucky and upgraded it in the 2 hour time frame :(

This should be fixed. Snapshot 165 should be out soon, and i added a check to make sure a similar problem (external library linkage) won't show up again.

The release should now be out. Please re-open the issue if it still doesn't work.
