Re: ic50 problem

I am not using that soft, but I will try to give you some general unix advices:

Are you shure that you have directory /home/cad/ ? Check it.

Next, set correct permissions for that directory (under root):

cd /home; chmod 711 cad

Next check if there is such file:

cd /home/cad/ ; ls -al .cdslog

If you will see:

-rwxr--r-- 1 cad users 0 Feb 27 11:58 .cdslog

then all Ok, but if you will see owner "root" - you will need to change file owner, or delete this file under root.

Next you can try to create this log file by yourself (under user cad):

cd /home/cad/ ; touch .cdslog

If all this didn't work, please verify that you have the good path in your "$PATH" environment variable set in your starting script file (.cshrc in Solaris or .bashrc in Linux Mandrake 9.2 when using bash shell for exemple).
