Installed, just not linked

Question

Note: I\'m not so good at using shell.

I was trying to install Valgrind using brew on Yosemite.

brew install --HEAD valgrind<

Answer 1

Here is what I tried and it worked:

$ brew link --overwrite sdl
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/sdl/1.2.15...
Error: Could not symlink lib/pkgconfig/sdl.pc
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig is not writable.

Looked for pkgconfig: (after chmod 750)

drwxr-xr-x   4 root           wheel   136B Mar 30  2013 pkgconfig

I tried chown as below:

$ sudo chown -R  avkashchauhan:admin /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

it should look like as below:

drwxr-xr-x   4 avkashchauhan  admin   136B Mar 30  2013 pkgconfig

After I tried it:

$ brew link sdl
