I avoid brew because it mungs the default permissions of /usr/local. I'm probably not their target demographic, though, because I'm already using /usr/local as the installation location when I build from source. I don't like tools that violate my expectations.

tzs

Something like this should work to allow access to /usr/local without changing the traditional Unix permissions:

   chmod +a 'user:YOUR_NAME_HERE allow add_subdirectory,add_file,delete_child,directory_inherit' /usr/local
