RVM – Error attempted “Brew Link AutoConf”

When I try to “brew link autoconf” in the terminal, I keep getting this error.

Error: Unable to symlink file: /usr/local/Cellar/autoconf/2.69/share/emacs/site-lisp
/usr/local/share/emacs is not writable. You should change its permissions.

Anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem? Thanks!

You need to ensure that all files and folders in /usr/local are writable. You can do this by typing the following command

chown -R yourusername /usr/local
chmod -R u+w /usr/local< /pre>

You may need to use sudo to make the command work.

After performing this operation, try to connect again.
