I think this patch may fix the bug:

    fix datadir search - include user settings


I am going to close this. Feel free to reopen if
this is in error.  Thanks.

Also a macOS + brew user here, with the same problem.

I found that running

`source-highlight-settings`

spots the problem, and asks for a directory, which anon/OP kindly supplied (namely, `/usr/local/share/source-highlight`)

Supplying that value saves a config file which fixes the problem.

I suspect a brew issue, here, so will feed this to that bug-tracker, too.

This is probably some issue with how it was configured
and/or installed.

The code computes a directory name relative to the
executable, and uses that to find the default datadir.
Mine looks like:

./config.h:#define RELATIVEDATADIR "../share/source-highlight"

so, it looks in $argv0/../share/source-highlight for files.

I don't think there's a good way to see this value if you
just have the executable, but if you have the configure
logs or the like you can probably figure it out.

Where is your executable installed?  If it's in
/usr/local/bin then I'd expect it to work.

When I try to view a file using `less`, I always get the error `"source-highlight: cannot find input file anywhere outlang.map"`.  Even if I invoke `source-highlight` without any arguments, it seems to have this trouble:

```
[KenMacBook-2:~] % less tiles.R
source-highlight: cannot find input file anywhere outlang.map
[KenMacBook-2:~] % source-highlight --failsafe --infer-lang -f esc --style-file=esc.style -i tiles.R 
source-highlight: cannot find input file anywhere outlang.map
[KenMacBook-2:~] % source-highlight                                                                
source-highlight: cannot find input file anywhere outlang.map
```

If I manually add a `--data-dir` parameter to the `source-highlight` call, it doesn't complain anymore (and the output is colorized):

```
[KenMacBook-2:~] % source-highlight --failsafe --infer-lang -f esc --style-file=esc.style -i tiles.R --data-dir=/usr/local/share/source-highlight    
hexagon <- function(x, y, side, ...) {
  polygon(x=x+side/2*c(0, 1, 3, 4, 3, 1),
          y=y+side*sqrt(3)/2*c(0, -1, -1, 0, 1, 1),
          ...)
}

plot(3,3, type='n')
hexagon(2,3,1)
```

Has my configuration gotten messed up?
