Seems like there's something wrong in the current patch for mpfr.

The mpfr .a and .la files already in /usr/local will likely cause problems (if this was compiling.)

[MartinHjelm]

It doesn't compile. How do you mean I have no mpfr files in usr/local. (A bit of a newbie on this)

[MartinHjelm]

It seems if I clean out the /usr/local/lib and reinstalling everything mpfr actually builds. However there is a linking problem

Warning: Could not link mpfr. Unlinking...
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
You can try again using `brew link mpfr'

Linking is fixed using the forced overwrite which deletes the following files

/usr/local/include/mpfr.h
/usr/local/include/mpf2mpfr.h
/usr/local/share/doc/mpfr
/usr/local/lib/libmpfr.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libmpfr.a
/usr/local/lib/libmpfr.4.dylib

[MartinHjelm]

Closing this since it seems problem can be resolved by cleaning out the /usr/local/lib and reinstalling.
