What's Wrong?

While attempting to add Claude Code to MacPorts via NPM, MacPorts prints this warning about a broken rg binary:

Could not open /opt/homebrew/opt/pcre2/lib/libpcre2-8.0.dylib: Error opening or reading file (referenced from /opt/local/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/vendor/ripgrep/arm64-darwin/rg)

This is confirmed by otool -L:

❯ otool -L /opt/local/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/vendor/ripgrep/arm64-darwin/rg
/opt/local/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/vendor/ripgrep/arm64-darwin/rg:
        /opt/homebrew/opt/pcre2/lib/libpcre2-8.0.dylib (compatibility version 14.0.0, current version 14.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1319.100.3)

/opt/homebrew/opt/pcre2/lib/libpcre2-8.0.dylib indeed doesn't exist on my machine. I don't have Homebrew installed (and I also don't plan to install it).

What Should Happen?

The binaries installed by Claude Code should not depend on Homebrew libraries.
