Trying to install fftw and the formulae is not found. Here is the terminal response.

Any thoughts?

brew install fftw

What does brew config and brew doctor say?

That is very strange. Try completely uninstalling Homebrew (or, at least, do rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core), then install it again.

So, I ran the uninstall script:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"

You may wish to remove them yourself.

I also ran the RM command you mentioned.

rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core

I then reinstalled Homebrew.

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Looks like your local core repo should be fixed. Try brew update then brew install fftw.

That may have done the trick. I can now see the FFTW output on an audio spectralizer.
