I didn't run brew doctor since a lot of time. Know it tell me I should run brew link osxfuse. Here I show you the rest:

Newton:~$ brew link --overwrite osxfuse Warning: Could not link osxfuse. Unlinking... Linking /usr/local/Cellar/osxfuse/2.6.2... Error: Permission denied - /usr/local/include/osxfuse/fuse.h

When I run it with sudo, it says it is better that I shouldn't do it. So I didn't try. Here is the permission.

Newton:~$ ls -l /usr/local/include/osxfuse/fuse.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 246 17 Dez 2011 /usr/local/include/osxfuse/fuse.h

What can I do?

It seems to work if you change the permissions of the parent directory /usr/local/include/osxfuse

You need to ensure that your user has write permissions to this directory and all of it's files. This should work:

sudo chown USERNAME /usr/local/include/osxfuse
sudo chgrp GROUPNAME /usr/local/include/osxfuse
sudo chmod o+w /usr/local/include/osxfuse

  • How do the permissions need to be changed?

  • Hopefully that change clarifies things.

  • It works, but now truecrypt begins to strike. But if we can believe the latest news about truecrypt...

This question is only relevant to OSX versions before Yosemite. If you have Yosemite or a newer version of OSX, it is not possible to build the OSXFUSE formula from the source. Brew suggests that you install the binary offered by Homebrew Cask:

brew install Caskroom/cask/osxfuse

  • and also brew uninstall --force osxfuse to remove older version of osxfuse
