brew prune

brew install fuse4x

I have the same problem with Bitcasa I guess they use the same fuse as TrueCrypt

What is the actually problem here? Why does the solution work?

Here is a solution I created from a bash script made to solve the same issue: https://gist.github.com/SteveBenner/10938596.

It uses Ruby module FileUtils, but falls back to shell commands if you can't include the module for some reason. It also prevents you from running the script if you don't need to. Works like a charm for me.

thanks a lot stevebenner that solved it really easily for me.

This little snippet demonstrates nicely the idea, but it lacks important verifications, symlinks aren't copied over and the pkgconfig files aren't moved to the right subdir.
Fixed, tested on Yosemite the gist is here.
Thanx to Aaron, James and Yiufung . enjoy...
