I am installing a few Homebrew packages on a brand new Mac. However, there are some errors while linking:
ln: ./libsvn_wc-1.dylib: Permission denied
Error: The linking step did not complete successfully
The package built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
You can try again using `brew link subversion'
Error: Could not create symlink /usr/local/lib/libsvn_wc-1.dylib.
Check that you have permssions on /usr/local/lib
==> Summary
/usr/local/Cellar/subversion/1.6.15: 88 files, 6.0M, built in 38 seconds
So SVN isn't really installed correctly, as we can see here:
charon:~ werner$ which svn
/usr/bin/svn
Same error for Git:
charon:~ werner$ brew link git
Error: Permission denied - /usr/local/lib/python2.6
However, this one's installed correctly:
charon:~ werner$ which git
/usr/local/bin/git
Should I just chmod
the lib
directory or is there anything else I should preferably do?
charon:~ werner$ ls -l /usr/local/

This works, but upon restarting, i have to run it again on osx 10.10 – Jamie S – 2016-01-07T23:10:01.097
