At this point you may need to install homebrew (if it thinks it's only installed in /usr/local). Then source .homebrew-build-env, check PATH and other variables again, run ./configure and install whatever packages Sage recommends. If this all happens to work, then you can start going through /usr/local to see if there is anything there that didn't come from homebrew that you want to keep. John, why that complicated? Partly it's my personality: I tend to be cautious about deleting things. Second, there may be other things in /usr/local that didn't come from homebrew and that may be interfering with Sage installation. (TeXLive might be installed there, as an example of something benign — no impact on Sage installation. Who knows what else might have been migrated there, though?) Probably you're right and your suggestion will work fine and be simpler, though. I think Anne's machine has 2 copies of Homebrew. The link I posted (https://github.com/homebrew/install#uninstall-homebrew) has this advice: If you want to to uninstall Homebrew from a specific prefix (e.g. when migrating from Intel to Apple Silicon processors), download the uninstall script and run it with --path: curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh /bin/bash uninstall.sh --path /usr/local Dima -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
