MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This error means that the shell couldn't see a directory when trying to create a file. The only way for this to happen is if the permissions on one of the higher-level directories is set to rw- or r-- or --- for that user. I don't know tkfont, so I cant tell you what directory it is looking for, but this is _definately_ a permissions problem.

Author: Lanny Baron at Internet_mail Date: 10/3/98 4:18 PM Hello, Can someone tell me why as a non root user on my system when trying to run tkfont it always comes back with this: beef@beef:~$ tkfont Error in startup script: couldn't create error file for command: no such file or directory while executing "exec xset fp rehash" (procedure "Rehash" line 8) invoked from within "Rehash" (file "/usr/local/bin/tkfont" line 361) I can only use it if I am root :-( Thanks..
