I quickly write a troubleshoot post on Étoilé blog. If you can try it, let me know which step you have problem. I check the permission of my system and they are all property set. Some are under my username and some are root. But the permissions are all correct. The way I did is that I compile everything under my account and only 'sudo' for installation. 'setup.sh' is supposedly to run with regular user account, not root. But I believe it is only tested with Ubuntu. Maybe you can take a look at the script and set up your system manually. Most of the stuff is mentioned in the post already
