the problem was permission mkdir: /usr/local/var/run/couchdb: Permission denied
I have thought about it a while, and realized something. When I newly started this MacBookAir after purchased, I mistakenly set the root password. Then, I have took some steps to reset the password and key chain. I think the permission and ownership were messed up at that time. sudo chown -R myname /usr/local/var/ did solve the problem. Now couchdb starts without problem. Thanks for all your help! soichi 2013/1/8 Robert Newson <[email protected]> > The combination of brew, /usr/local and sudo makes me a little twitchy > fwiw.
