You might need to chown -R username:staff ~/.cache

[GioMac]

@lunixbochs nope, that doesn't help, even with chmod 777 in the root of cache, directory is created later

[GioMac]

#84 didn't help too

[lunixbochs]

what if you delete .cache?

[lunixbochs]

#83 builds on fresh osx just fine, so if there's a problem building #83 it's your environment

[GioMac]

@lunixbochs nothing helps
my environment might be a complicated, that's true, usually when you are linux user and use libvirt - your environment on Mac OS X laptop won't be "clean", ever :(

[GioMac]

@lunixbochs btw, it's libvirt-glib issue, so, other patches do nothing

[lunixbochs]

Enable dtrace (using csrutil/SIP) and run dtruss -ff on brew.

[GioMac]

@lunixbochs
brew-dtrace-libvirt-glib.txt

[lunixbochs]

.cache isn't in that trace at all. Did it still error out?

[GioMac]

@lunixbochs hm, sorry, looks like i've got trouble running dtruss with regular user:
"dtruss -ff brew install libvirt-glibc
dtrace: failed to initialize dtrace: DTrace requires additional privileges"
can't run with root or "-u" because of this:
"Running Homebrew as root is extremely dangerous and no longer supported."
any clue?

[lunixbochs]

put brew cmd in a shell script that starts with a single line of read then attach dtruss -ff -p pid with the pid before pressing enter

[GioMac]

@lunixbochs not understood, can you please provide the script?

Closing issue -- libvirt-glib recipe has since been updated to 2.0.0 and merged into homebrew-core.
