Python installation errors

4

1

This is incredibly, annoying, I can't do anything in python until this is fixed. Thanks if you can help, I know it can be annoying to have to look at so much code but i'd really appreciate. I'm trying to install python because I think my previous installs aren't very clean.

    /usr/local/.git already exists!

    ==> Caveats
    This formula is keg-only, so it was not symlinked into /usr/local.

    OS X provides the BSD libedit library, which shadows libreadline.
    In order to prevent conflicts when programs look for libreadline we are
    defaulting this GNU Readline installation to keg-only.

    Generally there are no consequences of this for you.
    If you build your own software and it requires this formula, you'll need
    to add its lib & include paths to your build variables:

5The error messages say that you don't have write access to where it's trying to install. Could you try "sudo brew install python --framework"? – DSM – 2012-01-13T21:37:03.423

@DSM, no you can't sudo brew install python --framework as that brew will cowardly refuse to do so. – mfollett – 2012-02-13T18:35:52.660

@mfollett: Hmm. Well, it was worth a try. :^) Unfortunately I don't have an OS X box at the office to test-- is the usual process to change the permissions on the target directories? – DSM – 2012-02-13T18:59:12.890

@DSM I'm pretty sure brew formulas are not supposed to attempt to write to locations that would require root access. I'm not really sure why the python formula is trying to do so in this case. – mfollett – 2012-02-17T18:13:32.313

@DSM the only time I know of that brew will need to run as root is if you run brew link <package>. – mfollett – 2012-02-17T18:14:41.047

This is your problem

error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/test-easy-install-37718.write-test'

You want to run make/make install with sudo or change the permissions on the aforementioned directory to allow yourself to write in it.

You are installing the lib in system wide and have not permission at directory. Run your make install with sudo.
