It was thus said that the Great Glenn Travis once stated:
No Sir, nothing like that. I have run afoul of the permissions error
before so I understand what you are saying. They were just not there, and
when I do see them, I know that I have to go the sudo route.
Interesting. I have two Macs I use (one personal, one for work). On my
personal one, "/usr/local" is owned by root, so I would get an error trying
to install Lua. On the work Mac, however, "/usr/local" is owned by me
(except for "/usr/local/man" for some reason). The only thing I can think
of is that I have used homebrew on the work Mac, but not on my personal Mac
(I really don't do development on the home Mac).
But I suspect that "/usr/local" is owned by you (the non-root account you
use).
