Help w/ Homebrew Warnings

Hey all,

I'm fairly new to mac and going through the process of learning Homebrew and Git.

I've got Homebrew installed and when running the brew doctor command, I'm getting a warning, which seems somewhat normal from what I've read on forums. The warning is as follows:

"Warning: Unbrewed dylibs were found in /usr/local/lib. If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be deleted.

Unexpected dylibs: /usr/local/lib/libecomlodr.dylib"

Now, my question is this, do I really need to remove this dylib? I've found conflicting information on forums, but it seems like the answer is yes, I should override and remove this; and possibly keep doing that for any other warnings until I get the magic message of "Your system is ready to brew".

The machine I'm doing this on is fresh. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

I've found that deleting the problematic files is the best bet. You can ignore me but before you know it you'll have a list worth of error messages.
