There are two C++ standard libraries supported by Apple compilers. There are two C++ standard libraries supported by Apple compilers.
The default for 10.8 and earlier is **libstdc++**, supported by Apple GCC compilers, GNU GCC compilers, and clang. This was marked deprecated with a warning during compile as of Xcode 8. The default for 10.8 and earlier is **libstdc++**, supported by Apple GCC

The default for 10.9 is **libc++**, which is also the default for clang on older platforms when building C++11 code. The default for 10.9 is **libc++**, which is also the default for clang on older

There are subtle incompatibilities between several of the C++ standard libraries, so Homebrew will refuse to install software if a dependency was built with an incompatible C++ library. It's recommended that you install the dependency tree using a compatible compiler. There are subtle incompatibilities between several of the C++ standard libraries,

**If you've upgraded to 10.9 from an earlier version** - because the default C++ standard library is now libc++, you may not be able to build software using dependencies that you built on 10.8 or lower. If you're reading this page because you were directed here by a build error, you can most likely fix the issue if you reinstall all the dependencies of the package you're trying to build. **If you've upgraded to 10.9 from an earlier version** - because the default C++

Example install using GCC 4.8: ```brew install DESIRED_FORMULA --cc=gcc-4.8```. Example install using GCC 4.8: ```brew install DESIRED_FORMULA --cc=gcc-4.8```.
