For me it took like 10 mins to get to step 2, and 10 moreto get to step 3, but it ended up throwing another error anyway afterwards :(

Please try v0.3.0.

If it still does not work, please upload ~/.lima/default/serial.log

libslirp 4.6.0 (used by QEMU) turned out to be broken: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/slirp/libslirp/-/issues/48 Homebrew/homebrew-core#79479

Users using libslirp 4.6.0 have to downgrade libslirp to 4.5.0 (until they fixes the issue)

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies libslirp
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/f2a53ffe2362d2a7e55fd1a8a9bc71c1ec15bb00/Formula/libslirp.rb
brew install ./libslirp.rb

I also got the same error using libslirp 4.6.0.
In my environment, when I run "brew install", it automatically updates to the latest version, so I had to set "HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1" before running it.

...
export HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1
brew install ./libslirp.rb

@tnk4on Since you are installing from a local recipe, does it matter that brew updates its git checkout?

It should not upgrade libslirp until you run brew upgrade, and you can brew pin libslirp to prevent that. Or am I missing something?

@jandubois Sorry, I'm not familiar with brew so I don't know the details...
The following is the brew insall for the first time.

$ brew install ./libslirp.rb

The same goes for another Mac I own. So, I had to turn off automatic updates and run it.

$ brew --version

libslirp v4.6.1 with the fix is now available on homebrew
