That {error, eaccess} error generally means that the user you're
running couchdb as doesn't have write access to your config files, and
it looks like from the call there that it's trying to write back the
hashed version of your admin password.

The couchdb you installed from source is probably looking at
/usr/local/etc/couchdb for config files, whereas the one set up by the
packaged version probably went into /etc/couchdb, so you'll need to
update the permissions of all the couchdb directories, specifically
/usr/local/etc/couchdb and /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb
