Things I tried but which failed

brew cleanup
brew cleanup --prune=1
sudo chown -R <user> /opt/homebrew
sudo brew upgrade (not supported anymore)

This is a single-user Mac system and I do have admin privileges. However, the standard online remedies for a CMake error in brew did not cure the ailment.

I am fairly certain this is just a brew problem with privileges and not a Cadabra issue, but I've never faced it in a form that wouldn't get fixed after using chown.

[kpeeters]

Yeah, I know. I spent 5 minutes updating the homebrew package to the latest cadabra version, and then two hours trying to figure out why this happens. I have no idea so far, but it looks like the homebrew people messed up something. I don't have time to dig into this further, any help is welcome (if not I will probably remove the homebrew package altogether as it is just causing headaches).

[spinor87]

any help is welcome

I will let you know if I figure out a fix.

Is there an update on this?

I am also having trouble building from source when I run the last step. This worked in the past for the previous version 2.4.2.4 but I have the following error for the latest version 2.4.4.1:

[kpeeters]

I can't help with the homebrew problem, they messed something up or changed something in a backward incompatible way and I do not have time to dig into that.

When you build from source and do make install, unless you have indicated an installation directory which is writable for you, it will go into /usr/local/ and you need superuser privileges to write there. Do make as normal user, and then sudo make install to install.

[navagaddam]

Thanks for your response, Kasper. I do literally what you suggested

git clone https://github.com/kpeeters/cadabra2

cd cadabra2
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DENABLE_MATHEMATICA=OFF ..
make
sudo make install

So I do make as normal user, and then sudo make install after that. This last step is what produced the error I mentioned earlier.

[kpeeters]

Some weird permissions on your /usr/local folder. What does

ls -lad /usr/local

give?

[navagaddam]

That gives

drwxr-xr-x 17 root wheel 544 Jan 13 18:26 /usr/local

What should the normal permissions be?

[kpeeters]

What does

ls -la /usr/local/share/

give?
