[BRLTTY] (Solved) Unable to compile brltty after upgrade to Mac High Sierra 10.13.1

The paths with and without sudo are identical.

So what seemed most logical to me was that I had inadvertently used sudo 
at some 
point out of habit and something within the actual brltty folder was 
requiring sudo. So I deleted the brltty folder and ran git clone again and 
then ran the steps and sudo was not needed for make. This is probably 
something I did. When the folder was in /usr/local I had to use sudo for 
everything, which is usual on the Mac, so I must have slipped up and used 
it again in some way that caused this problem.


The /opt would ordinarily be first with
