Everytime I try brownie compile I see this:

SolcInstallationError: Downloaded binary would not execute, or returned unexpected output. If this issue persists, you can try to compile from source code using `solcx.compile_solc('0.5.17')`.

I can not for the life of me figure out how to fix this error I am getting. I've read so many posts and tried so many things but I can't get it to work.

• I started using Python 3.9 in my virtualenv based on another post saying that is what worked best
• Dozens of various attempts to brew uninstall, brew install various things.
• paired that with brownie 1.19.3 -- that'd didn't help either.
• I've tried pretty much anything you can imagine with solc, and that has not helped.
• I've changed my version of solidity several times, no luck either.

I've tried so many things to fix this but I can't find an answer!

Here is the full error that I see in my terminal, and then I've also posted under this my .sol .yaml .py files.
