I run this command

brew link cmake

I got this error

Linking /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.5.2... Error: Could not symlink share/emacs/site-lisp/cmake /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp is not writable.

After that i will gave full permissions to this folder (By sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp)

Again I run

brew link cmake    

It's linked and every thing working fine.

  1. run brew link cmake

  2. if that doesn't help then run brew doctor to figure out why it can't link it -- likely it is missing user rights to write to the folder.
