Permission denied - /Users/<user>/Library/Logs/Homebrew/flann when using brew

I wanted to install pcl by brew on OSX.

$ brew install pcl
==> Installing pcl from homebrew/science
==> Installing dependencies for homebrew/science/pcl: flann, cminpack, qh
==> Installing homebrew/science/pcl dependency: flann
==> Downloading http://people.cs.ubc.ca/~mariusm/uploads/FLANN/flann-1.8.4-src.z
Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/flann-1.8.4.zip
==> cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE=-DNDEBUG -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE=-DNDEBUG
Error: Permission denied - /Users/xxh/Library/Logs/Homebrew/flann

Commend cmake is fine.

I tried sudo brew install pcl. It's not work.

How to fix it?

Solution

  • Did you try to fix the rights?

    $ chmod -R 755 ~/Library/Logs/Homebrew

    Should fix this issue and you could retry the installation...
