executing brew doctor I have the following warning:
Warning: Unbrewed dylibs were found in /usr/local/lib.
If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when
building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be deleted.

Is there a way to fix this? I don't want to delete them since it could cause problems (not sure about this).
Thanks.
Yes, there’s a way to fix: delete them.
However, as brew doctor says:
Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!
In other words: you don’t need to address any of the warnings from brew doctor if you don’t have any issue with Homebrew.

After much searching on the Internet, I have never seen a satisfactory answer or explanation to the following problem. I would like to use CocoAspell for system-wide spell-checking on OS X 10.9 (plugs into TexShop, TextMate, etc.), but every time I install it, brew doctor starts throwing the following warnings:
Warning: Unbrewed dylibs were found in /usr/local/lib.
If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when
building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be deleted.
Unexpected dylibs:
/usr/local/lib/libaspell.15.1.4.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libpspell.15.1.4.dylib
Warning: Unbrewed .la files were found in /usr/local/lib.
If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when
building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be deleted.
Unexpected .la files:
/usr/local/lib/libaspell.la
/usr/local/lib/libpspell.la
Internet searches have shown that these warnings never seem to lead to any errors, but it seems to me that there must be some way to suppress them. Partly, I like to see the Your system is ready to brew notification, but I'd also like to avoid some sort of "boy crying wolf" situation, where I become accustomed to brew doctor throwing errors.
Is there a way to either:
Install CocoAspell in another location, such that brew doesn't see it
Hide the offending dylib and .la files from brew doctor
Or enable the CocoAspell preference pane/program to access libraries installed by a brewed version of aspell
Uninstalling CocoAspell and trashing the offending files results in a clean bill of health, and performing brew install aspell results in a working version of aspell, but this doesn't help me with any of the GUI applications I prefer for LaTeX editing.
Uninstall cocoAspell completely if you installed it before.
Install aspell with homebrew or any other package manager. Don't forget the dictionaries you need. I wanted English and Czech, so I used
brew install aspell --with-lang-cs --with-lang-en
Install only the preference pane of cocoAspell. Click on "Customize" before installing and only select the "Spelling" option.
Create the directory /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/
Make a symlink in the directory to make the preference pane aware of the available dictionaries (as the administrator):
cd /Library/Application\ Support/cocoAspell/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60 Dictionaries
Make sure that /usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60 is the correct path.
The cocoAspell pref pane now shows the installed dictionaries.
Add the offending files to the white_list in doctor.rb. Mine was in /usr/local/Library/Homebrew/cmd/doctor.rb
If your's isn't there, find it with
locate doctor.rb
Look for white_list in side of def check_for_stray_dylibs, mine was on line 105. It should probably look like this.
white_list = {
"libfuse.2.dylib" => "MacFuse",
"libfuse_ino64.2.dylib" => "MacFuse",
"/usr/local/lib/libTrAPI.dylib" => "TrAPI"
}
An alternative is to install Homebrew somewhere other than /usr/local (that is, create ~/.homebrew, or /Tools/homebrew; then sudo chmod $USER /Tools/homebrew, untar Homebrew there, and add /Tools/homebrew/bin to your $PATH). That way, /usr/local is reserved for things you're installed there by some other means, rather than using Homebrew; for example the situation you describe here. Homebrew still occasionally whines about it, but you can usually ignore it.
I use Homebrew as my principal OS X package manager; I don't let it anywhere near /usr/local.
Note that this advice is the direct opposite of Homebrew's insistent dogma, which I myself find unpersuasive.
I just installed Homebrew...I ran "brew doctor" and need help figuring the warnings.
Where is the libhelium_mac from? I recently downloaded the Mac OS X package on http://railsinstaller.org/en. I'm on Maverick.
I need step-by-step, command line-level help. Thank you!

occurs before /usr/bin in your PATH.
Warning: You have a non-Homebrew 'pkg-config' in your PATH:
/usr/bin/pkg-config => /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.10.9/bin/pkg-config
This was most likely created by the Mono installer. `./configure` may
have problems finding brew-installed packages using this other pkg-config.
Do you think any of those could be the problem?
Thanks for your help!
EDIT:
I am running Lion.
Brew is up to date.
Well, I hit the same issue yesterday, and in my case the solution surprisingly resulted in a combination of uninstalling the Mono Framework following Uninstalling Mono on Mac OS X, removing all packages that placed unexpected dynlibs and .pc files (which in my case were fuse-related).
However, I did have the PATH set according to homebrew's wishes, amending /usr/local/bin to the PATH environment variable.
I'm very much a newbie when it comes to all this so forgive my incompetence.

This is asking you to unset your Dynamic Loading Library Path. You can do this by finding out where you set it and removing it. Most likely, you have a line in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile that looks like export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/some/path:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

I'm new to brew as well. When I first tried, I ended up with a laundry list of errors. Not all needed to be fixed for me to use brew as I needed it. In particular, I was able to ignore the
Unbrewed * were found in /usr/local/lib
messages that I was getting. I believe those are only a problem when your use of brew installed packages will interfere with ones you've installed before (in my case, it was NTFS-3g, not related to my future uses of brew).
