-i openssl not working Mac OSX

[Grant Bowling]

Hello,

I got an error trying to use sage -i openssl to get openssl on my sage so that I can use -pip install packagename. I have the required xtools command line tools. Apologies if this is a duplicate post. It seems the main error I got is [openssl-1.1.1b] ccache: error: Failed to create directory /Users/grant/.ccache/f/2: Permission denied. 

Thank you!

It’s possible that somewhere along the line, you ran something as root that changed permissions somewhere in the path to ~/.ccache/f/2.

Check the permissions with “ls -ld” using the arguments ~/.ccache, ~/.ccache/f, and ~/.ccache/f/2.

Make sure nothing in the path is owned by root.

HTH,

Justin

To set ownership of `~/.ccache` and all its subdirectories
to the current user, run the following command:

$ sudo chown -R `whoami` ~/.ccache

Assuming you are using one of the recent binary packages for Sage 8.9 or 9.0, you could also use the prebuilt openssl packages available here:

https://bitbucket.org/t3m/snappy/downloads/

Just download "mac_sage8.tgz" or "mac_sage9.tgz", unpack, and follow the instructions.
