As you know, I installed the precompiled binaries on my G5. It looks good,
but won't let me run a fico, error message: *** ERROR: failed to open
file /Users/leap/data/pl/M006smooth@4+orig.HEAD for attribute writing;
- Do you have permission to write to this disk?
- Is the disk full?
*** Datablock write error: failure to write attributes - is disk full? do
you have write permission?

Also I can't write a .1D file from a functional underlay graph. error
message: couldn't open for output file 032_032_003.1D

A unix (not a Mac) person ran this:
>[computer :~/data] leap% touch foobar
>[computer :~/data] leap% ls -d foobar
>foobar
He said that this means I should be able to write to disc.
I have about 220 gig of available space.

Is this a problem with precompiled binaries on a G5? or is there some
simple fix?

Thanks for your continuing help.
