Homebrew should not be used as the main intaller for any plugs in but only as backup. Homebrew cannot run as root and this causes major headaches when trying to run openclaw in a container that you really do not need to run multiple users on.

It makes all installs that use them fail and there is no easy work around besides manually trying to find some other package manager that allows for the same file installs.
