Yes brltty is portable. But depends on who ports it, you can have brltty for various architectures: amd64, i386... depending on the host szstem of the people who builds. So there is always a risk you have a i386 whereas you want amd64... Moreover, he could enable options you don't want. Actually, hard if there's a problem and you don't know how to contact person to know how he built. So... bad idea I think.

Don't you have something, for instance in /var/log/syslog? See also -l option which could give more information. How did you build (options? ...). What's the exact line? Did you try specifying --braille-device build option?
