Macのpythonをアップグレードしたいなぁと思い、Homebrewでpyenvを入れようとした時に出たエラーの対処ログです。

状況

こちらのサイト

を参考にpythonの環境を３.７にしようとしたわけです。

$brew install pyenv

で、pyenvを入れようとしましたが、、、

Error: Permission denied @ apply2files - /usr/local/share/ghostscript/9.16/Resource/CIDFSubst/Hiragino Sans GB W3.ttc

というエラーが出ました。

どうも、アクセス権限がないらしいです。

やってみたこと①

Homebrewには、brew doctorという、今何がやばいかを教えてくれる便利なコマンドがあるので、それを実行します。

Keigo-Enomoto:~ KeigoEnomoto$ brew doctor

Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar.
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause brews that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:
  ghostscript

明らかにこの３つ目のWarningが原因っぽいですね
言われた通りにbrew cleanupを実行します

Error: Permission denied @ apply2files - /usr/local/share/ghostscript/9.16/Resource/CIDFSubst/Hiragino Sans GB W3.ttc

さっきと同じエラー！！！

嫌になっちゃいますね

やってみたこと②

ghostscriptというやつが悪いのかな、、、と思いましてアンインストールしてみました

$brew uninstall ghostscript

アンインストールは成功したっぽいですが、さっきと同じエラーが出てしまいました。

解決ならず

３度目の正直

色々探していると、

Homebrewのアップデート時に出た5つのWarningと解決方法MacOSX - [Qiita]

が出てきました。

４つ目のエラーと状況が同じですね。

$ sudo chown -R [ユーザー名]/usr/local/share/ghostscript/9.16/Resource/CIDFSubst
と
$ sudo chown -R [ユーザー名]/usr/local/share/ghostscript/9.16/Resource/CIDFont

で権限を与えてみましょう

そして、再挑戦っ！！！

Keigo-Enomoto:~ KeigoEnomoto$ brew cleanup

その結果は、、、、、

Pruned 36 symbolic links and 2 directories from /usr/local

うまくpruneできました！！

(刈り込むとか、剪定っていう意味らしいです、というか初めて知った)

もう一度、お医者さんに診てもらいましょう

Keigo-Enomoto:~ KeigoEnomoto$ brew doctor

ちゃんと、消えてるっぽいですね！！

そのあと、うまくインストールできましたとさ

めでたし、めでたし。
