Unexpected static libraries - homebrew

I am having this warning when run brew doctor
Warning: Unbrewed static libraries 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 static libraries:
/usr/local/lib/libFaceGen_Macosx.a
/usr/local/lib/libGranny.a
/usr/local/lib/liblibexpat.a
I read some posts about libraries but any with those names. I would like to know if I ingnore this or need to do something?
Thanks!

Have anyone encounter such warning?
I remove the file directly. But I wonder why the file is in my mac.

Brew doctor warning for /usr/local/lib

executing brew doctor I have the following warning:
Warning: Unbrewed dylibs were found in /usr/local/lib.

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.

installing homebrew but something wrong when I run brew doctor

"config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
./configure scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
software packages are installed, and what additional flags to use when
compiling and linking.
Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew provided
script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts:
/Users/StevenLee/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin/freetype-config

Warning: Enthought Python was found in your PATH.
This can cause build problems, as this software installs its own
copies of iconv and libxml2 into directories that are picked up by
other build systems.
Warning: Python is installed at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework
Homebrew only supports building against the System-provided Python or a
brewed Python. In particular, Pythons installed to /Library can interfere
with other software installs.

How to fix my brew doctor errors

How do I fix brew doctor errors?

I'm very much a newbie when it comes to all this so forgive my incompetence.
When I run brew Doctor, I get the following. Can someone help?
[/usr/local]$ brew doctor
Error: Setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH can break dynamic linking.
You should probably unset it.
Error: Some keg-only formula are linked into the Cellar.
Linking a keg-only formula, such as gettext, into the cellar with
brew link f will cause other formulae to detect them during the
./configure step. This may cause problems when compiling those
other formulae.
Binaries provided by keg-only formulae may override system binaries
with other strange results.
You may wish to brew unlink these brews:

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
You may wish to brew unlink these brews:
libxml2
When Brew links, it's creating a symlink to the installation. It's how you can have python2.6. python2.7 installed but python will run one of them.
brew unlink libxml2

Error: You have uncommitted modifications to Homebrew's core. Unless you know what you are doing, you should run: cd /usr/local && git reset --hard

Error: Some directories in your path end in a slash. Directories in your path should not end in a slash. This can break other doctor checks. The following directories should be edited: /usr/local/git/bin/
The PATH variable is where your computer searches for programs when you type it in the command line. You can see your path with echo $PATH.
Standards dictate that all the paths in PATH should not end in a slash. Thus, homebrew is asking you to fix it.
nano ~/.bashrc or nano ~/.bash_profile and look for '/usr/local/git/bin/' and remove the trailing slash.
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).
