Build fails on Macbook

Not sure what all information to provide. I am trying to build this cool-looking project, but I am getting an error. I am new to Rust so not sure how to proceed.

This doesn't look rust specific, and I can't say I'm familiar with MacOS, however this looks like it may be similar to your issue and may be fixed with a brew upgrade.

Also, did you install rust using rustup, if not you might as well reinstall it the reccomended way, can't hurt and maybe you get lucky.
