Trying to install MySQL via Homebrew. The install seems to work fine but i get an error:
"Error: The linking step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
You can try again using `brew link mysql'"
Naturally, after this I ran:
brew link mysql
Which spat out:
Error: Could not symlink file: /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.5.20/include/typelib.h
/usr/local/include is not writable. You should change its permissions.
So I ran it with sudo
and got a "cowardly refusing to brew link mysql".
