Hello,

Yes, I have tried that. I did it again , here are the error I get

$brew link open-babel

Linking /usr/local/Cellar/open-babel/2.4.1...

Error: Could not symlink bin/babel

Target /usr/local/bin/babel

already exists. You may want to remove it:

  rm '/usr/local/bin/babel'


To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:

  brew link --overwrite open-babel


To list all files that would be deleted:

  brew link --overwrite --dry-run open-babel



Then as you also said and it is mentioned above , I did the following

$ brew link --overwrite open-babel

Linking /usr/local/Cellar/open-babel/2.4.1...

Error: Could not symlink include/inchi/inchi_api.h

/usr/local/include/inchi is not writable.


I thought maybe works for the second time :-D, so I restart the terminal
and I did

$ brew link --overwrite openbabel

Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/openbabel


Thanks and sorry for trouble
Cheers,
Mo
