Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 28, 2026 by ajoe1234 Closed Apr 28, 2026
For users running macOS Big Sur (11.x) who encounter this error:
dyld: Symbol not found: _ubrk_clone
Referenced from: ... (which was built for Mac OS X 13.0)
Expected in: /usr/lib/libicucore.A.dylib
Version 2.1.112 is the newest compatible version.
Starting from version 2.1.113, Claude Code requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later.
Installation
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.1.112
How I found this
Binary search testing between my working version (2.1.14) and latest (2.1.121):
- 2.1.112 ✅ works
- 2.1.113 ❌ fails with dyld error
Hope this helps others on older Macs.
