Hopefully this is an easy fix. I had not interacted with brew for several months. This morning I tried an update / upgrade cycle, and got the following error:

$ brew upgrade
Error: Calling needs :cxx11 is disabled! There is no replacement.
Please report this to the caskformula/caskformula tap:
/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/caskformula/homebrew-caskformula/Formula/inkscape.rb:49

If reporting this issue please do so at (not Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core):
https://github.com/caskformula/homebrew-caskformula/issues

Similar errors show up with other brew commands (e.g. brew missing).
I have no idea if this is a brew issue or an inkscape issue. Hopefully the solution is to flip a switch re-enabling cxx11 but I have no idea how to do that.

Could you execute the following command?

$ brew untap caskformula/caskformula
$ brew doctor

The error message will disappear, and you can brew upgrade.

I tried installing Inkscape through Homebrew, and got the above error message. brew untap ...; brew doctor did not solve the problem.

I have updated Homebrew to the latest version, and am on macOS High Sierra (10.13.6), with Xcode up to date.

FWIW, that process did resolve the error message for me.

Warning: "config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
`./configure` scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
software packages are installed, and what additional flags to use when
compiling and linking.

Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew provided
script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts:

Removing the tap or formula isn't really an answer, how do we replace the old needs: cxx11 & ENV.cxx11 for formula maintainers?

For me commenting out the offending line

need :cxx11 issue was just fixed in opencv.rb, probably has to be done in similar way now for inkscape.rb

Update:
I don't know if it’s smart, forgive a newbie, but after suggestion here I was doing the following I could get inscape.
I have commented out need :cxx11 in the inkscape.rb, by doing a fork on github. Now it worked for me

@melMass Came here for the same reason.
For me, it was a custom alembic formula that depended on needs: cxx11
The needs: cxx11 is actually no longer needed to use ENV.cxx11 if you are using a custom formula just delete it, else ask the maintainer.
