/etc/fuse.conf: Permission denied

The whole point of using this is so that one does not need to be root. However, I get these errors on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS:

me@host:~/fuseloop$ mkdir mnt
me@host:~/fuseloop$ ./fuseloop 'some.squashfs' mnt
debug: looked up file size: 362463232
fusermount: failed to open /etc/fuse.conf: Permission denied
me@host:~/fuseloop$ ls mnt
ls: cannot access mnt: Input/output error
me@host:~/fuseloop$ umount mnt
umount: mnt is not mounted (according to mtab)
me@host:~/fuseloop$ 

https://github.com/vasi/squashfuse did the trick for me.

On Ubuntu you typically need to be a member of the fuse group to be able to use FUSE utilities.
