Did you do a multi-user install (either using 'setup -net' or using the 
'install' script) ? Where did you place your workstation installation ?

It looks as if you did a single-user install. But then the user-specific 
installation data is put into the same installation directory - which 
must be user-writable to work properly.

See the setup guide for more details.


HTH, Joerg
