As an example I will post this libjpeg download scenario that I'm currently facing. I try to install libjpeg and get: $ brew install libjpeg ==> Downloading https://downloads.sf.net/project/machomebrew/Bottles/jpeg-8d.mountain_lion.bottle.1.tar.gz Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/jpeg-8d.mountain_lion.bottle.1.tar.gz ==> Pouring jpeg-8d.mountain_lion.bottle.1.tar.gz Warning: Could not link /usr/local/library/brew.rb: permission denied jpeg. Unlinking... Error: The brew link step did not complete successfully The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local You can try again using `brew link jpeg' Error: Permission denied - /usr/local/opt/jpeg 'brew link jpeg' results in Error: Permission denied - /usr/local/opt/jpeg Here is what my brew doctor reads $ brew doctor Warning: "config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories. ./configure scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if software packages are installed, and what additional flags to use when compiling and linking. Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew provided script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python-config /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2-config /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7-config Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause brews that depend on those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run brew link on these: jpeg This permission issue has been making it impossible to use brew on anything and I would really appreciate any suggestions. osx homebrew libjpeg share|improve this question edited Mar 11 '15 at 10:47 yochannah 2,11152042 asked May 8 '13 at 3:11 Saturnino 5,9913710 add a c

Thank you guys! EDIT: I don't know which .gitignore file the first run referring to, but the one under Library/Homebrew/test has -rw------- permissions, and I'm on the same admin user created since the start of the OS (2 years a go, I think). bfontaine added the 10.11 label Jul 13, 2015 omega commented Jul 13, 2015 I get a similar problem, but for me it also fails to unlink the old README.md for some reason :/ After the unsuccessful attempt there are a lot of new files and modified files as well omega commented Jul 13, 2015 Running brew doctor told me that /usr/local was not writable by my user. sudo chown $(USER):admin /usr/local fixed that, and now brew update works again.

It keeps telling me to recursively chown /usr/local, and I brew error permission tried that. Operation denied, so I sudo'd it. It seemed to work, but with an eerie silence that I hear is considered polite in Unix. Unfortunately, any succeeding attempts at brew update meet with the same cacophony of errors. I reran the command with -v and it looks the operation is not permitted for anything inside. As much as the answer is probably "learn UNIX" I'm just trying to comply with some job requirements here for a tutorial on Ruby, so that's a few steps above where I'm currently at. brew doctor: Warning: /usr/local/Frameworks isn't writable. This can happen if you "sudo make install" software that isn't managed by by Homebrew. If a formula tries to write a file to this directory, the install will fail during the link step. You should probably `chown` /usr/local/Frameworks Warning: /usr/local/Cellar isn't writable. You should `chown` /usr/local/Cellar Warning: /usr/local/etc isn't writable.
