[Wine] Re: finding or creating ~/.wine folder (Snow Leopard problem)

[rwoodsmall]

Somehow you lost permissions to write to your own home directory.  Start Terminal.app (from Finder: Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal), and fix ownship and perms on the top-level directory by running this


Code:

MYHOME=${HOME}
MYUSER=${USER}
MYGROUP=$(groups | cut -f 1 -d' ')
sudo chown -R ${MYUSER}:${MYGROUP} ${MYHOME}
chmod 755 ${MYHOME}




Then attempt to create and remove a couple of test directories:


Code:

mkdir ~/testdir
mkdir ~/.winetest
rmdir ~/testdir
rmdir ~/.winetest
