The only difference I can see between both you plus @albiere and my setup is that I have both automake and autoconf. Try installing them (both install through brew install) and then uninstall and install Erlang again?

No deal unfortunately.
I installed automake and autoconf and reinstalled elixir - and its dependencies - but the error continues.

I think this is related to wxwidgets support for big sur, not sure why it’s working for some and not for others. I’m using asdf to build erlang and to get that working I had to follow the steps outlined in segmentation fault when starting observer (macOS Big Sur) · Issue #183 · asdf-vm/asdf-erlang · GitHub .
You might (untested) be able to install a newer wxmac and rebuild brew erlang:
$ brew uninstall wxmac erlang
$ brew install cdalvaro/tap/wxmac
$ brew install --build-from-source --ignore-dependencies erlang
This seems to be a good summary to get started with asdf: Using ASDF with Elixir and Phoenix .

Thank you so much for the tip, but it didn’t quite work for me. I followed you recipe but building Erlang from source didn’t “link” wxmac, resulting in errors. I tried looking up for a flag that I could update in the configure process, but I’m not really familiar with building Erlang from source.

It’s far from what I’m comfortable with as well, but that’s how we learn 
Assuming you followed the brew build, you can try brew install --build-from-source --ignore-dependencies --HEAD erlang (to get homebrew to install erlang master), or to follow this and then rebuild erlang:
brew edit cdalvaro/tap/wxmac- Remove the bottle do block
- Add “–enable-compat28”, to the args list in install
brew install cdalvaro/tap/wxmac
Other than that I’m out of ideas.

@michaelwm This solution worked for me. Thank you so much for sharing it.
@mattiaslundberg I think you solution would’ve worked too, but when I tried it, Erlang was recognizing the new wxmac as a dependency. That’s probably because of homebrew. Thanks anyway for your help.

@michaelwm 's suggestion worked for me but I also had to remove the bottle do block while editing wxmac (as suggested by @mattiaslundberg ).

I changed the fields as suggested:
class Wxmac < Formula
desc "Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (wxWidgets for macOS)"
homepage "https://www.wxwidgets.org"
url "https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.1.4/wxWidgets-3.1.4.tar.bz2"
sha256 "3ca3a19a14b407d0cdda507a7930c2e84ae1c8e74f946e0144d2fa7d881f1a94"
# etc. etc.
end
but got the error
Error: Failed to download resource "wxmac"
Download failed: https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/wxmac-3.1.4_1.big_sur.bottle.tar.gz
I fixed it by forcing brew to install from source: brew install -s wxmac.
I guess this is the same problem @georgesboris solved by removing the bottle do block.
