David,
Good that it sorted your problem.
Re documentation; it does seem to be an oft-repeated issue, so a note to
assist people during installation could well be worthwhile.
If you look at the present native installation instructions here:
https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/installing-guacamole.html
and the source here:
https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/_sources/installing-guacamole.md.txt
You will get an idea of the form of the documentation and perhaps from
that how best to contribute an addition.
In my view keeping it short and to the point would be best, bearing in
mind it is really a freerdp issue, and more of a sysadmin task as you say.
From there you could submit your work to Jira (I think you have an
account?) for inclusion in the official guide.
Note I've said the above not being sure whether there is any protocol
around the documentation, or submissions on it! I seem to recollect some
discussion on this a while ago, but it may have been more to do with
content delivery rather than the content itself. In any event I expect
if I'm wildly wrong a gentle pointer in the right direction will ensue :)
Otherwise thanks for taking the time to pursue this.

Well, that was that! Unwritable directory it was indeed.
What worked better for me was the following answer by Nick:

<https://lists.apache.org/list?user@guacamole.apache.org:2022-10:freerdp%20home%20directory>
That said, I do believe we should document this somewhere. I can send an
email here with all the related instructions or better yet, add a small
section on the documentation, if this is even allowed to do over it as
these are pure Linux sysadmin tasks.
What do the Gurus recommend:
1. Create a bug to add it to the documentation.
1.a. I may even try to learn how to document it myself if that is even
possible.
2. Send here an email with the step by step instructions for posterity
and easy to search.
Thanks again @ivanmarcus for the instructions!
Have a good one you all!
David.

Thanks a lot for the quick answer @ivanmarcus. I will take care of
the permissions/daemon issues and get back to the group.

David,
With respect to the error you're seeing, these links should give
you
some assistance (you probably only need to look at one, they mostly
reiterate the same thing):

As for my set of notes; the installation was indeed carried out
as root,
but before going too far with further suggestions perhaps you could
respond back after dealing with your user/directory parms etc?
