Experience is when you learn something you really did not want to know!

I have *never* installed homebrew, but I assume something sneaked it in some when.
I did a complete reinstall to ensue the decks were clear but timemachine is too clever "You did not say restore homebrew, but I think you want it ..."
I ran the homebrew uninstall script, rebuilt from scratch, and compileMythfrontendAnsible is chugging away, an hour later after anisible worked correctly..

So silly, so much help . . . thanks
