I am getting the same error. Any solution for this?

There is a chance that the installation via the command brew install --HEAD watsonbox/cmu-sphinx/cmu-sphinxbase didn't work. So you have to try it again and see if everything worked fine. There is a chance that you encountered issue similar to this one.
