Symlink error when installing MySQL via Homebrew

Similar to this question but have problems still trying to solve the issue.

I am trying to install mySQL and it keeps telling me it's not writable and that I should change its permission.

Now I did try all the answers but I still end up with the same error. Here are the codes I tried:

  • sudo chmod -R g+w /usr/local/lib
  • sudo chmod -R g+w /usr/local
  • sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/include
  • sudo chmod -R g+w /usr (desperate enough)

As for OS system I use I am using OSX Lion.

  • @techie007 I don't think the OP has enough rep to do either of your suggestions.

  • The problem is probably that your user does not belong to the group that owns /usr/local/lib. Add your user to that group and try the commands again.
