Installing aria2 on OS X using Homebrew fails

I have been a Linux user for a long time now mainly using Debian based systems. Recently I also bought a 15" MacBooK Pro with Retina Display and now, I am trying to install my lovely command line tools using Homebrew on it.

I have been successful so far, until now that I tried to install aria2 which failed. Here's what happened:

Akos-MacBook-Pro:tmp ako$ brew install aria2
==> Downloading
Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/aria2-1.18.0.tar.bz2
==> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/aria2/1.18.0 --with-ca-bundle=/usr/local/share/ca-bundle.crt --without-appletls
==> make install
fatal error: too many errors emitted, stopping now [-ferror-limit=]
20 errors generated.
make[2]: *** [LibgmpDHKeyExchange.lo] Error 1
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
READ THIS:
Akos-MacBook-Pro:tmp ako$ 

I think the error has something to do with the certificates(crt file).
Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong here?

Finally I fixed the problem.

I removed all the files belonging to Homebrew and did a fresh re-install of Homebrew first.
Then I installed aria2 and it went fine.
