Daniel Thayer commented on BIT-1397:
------------------------------------
I think the problem is that you need to be superuser to install in /usr/local,
but when you do that then all of the installed files/directories are owned by
root.
The user who runs broctl needs write access to the <prefix>/logs and
<prefix>/spool
directories. I always run as an ordinary user and I just install to that
user's home directory.
> broctl --help is mysterious
