Where do I find the '~/.gnome2 directory'
You'll get a lot of replies, but the answer is in the question. : mkdir ~/.gnome2 mkdir: /Users/paul/.gnome2: File exists The ~ character means "home" or your home directory. It sounds like the process doesn't have permissions to create a directory in your home: if it's not running as you, that makes sense, as you don't want a web server process writing into user home directories. If it is running as you, you may want to verify that you can write. cd ~; chown -R <your username> . This should run without issue, but the messages you get back will tell you what's wrong. For permissions, it looks like 0700. drwx------ 9 paul paul 306 Mar 31 16:36 .gnome2 -- Paul Beard contact info: www.paulbeard.org/paulbeard.vcf pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pdb206/ Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem?
