What are the permissions on /raid0/homes/dmwelch/Library/Logs?

This is working when you build verbose because build logs aren't written into the log directory. The build actually failed from Homebrew being unable to write the logs:

Error: Permission denied - /raid0/homes/dmwelch/Library/Logs

[dmwelch]

Permissions are 777: https://gist.github.com/dmwelch/5469629#file-cppcheck-brew-install-gist-L30

Mine are owned by "adamv adamv", not "adam user", though I don't suppose that makes any difference.

Works here without verbose, but I'm not installing with sudo either. Suggest using non-sudo Homebrew install, or making sure root can write to your log folder appropriately.

[dmwelch]

Sudo should not be the issue, since the permissions are open.

@adamv: Why close an issue b/c "it works on my machine"? Leave it open for someone else to tackle, bro.

[mistydemeo]

@dmwelch Just for comparison's sake, can you successfully sudo touch /raid0/homes/dmwelch/Library/Logs/cppcheck/foo?

[dmwelch]

@mistydemeo @adamv
That does fail. So does:

sudo touch /raid0/homes/dmwelch/Library/Logs/Homebrew/cppcheck/foo

The cppcheck/ dir doesn't exist, but I can't create that either as sudo.

Now this is something I can bring to my system admin. Thanks for the help guys.

[dmwelch]

Success!

sudo su -
brew install cppcheck

Per my admin:

I am going to guess it has something to do with the fact that your home directory is on a NFS share. I am betting that if you sudo su - and then try the homebrew install of the application, it will work."

Cheers!
