- So far, a lot of people have posted this same question to the list.
- What's happened is that the permissions are set to read-only on the
- /usr/local/lib/executor directory, and instead of telling you that it's
- not able to write to its configuration file, Executor coredumps instead
- (should be fixed by the next version...). Anyway, all you have to do is
- either recursively change the permissions on the /usr/local/lib/executor
- directory tree to world writable:
-
- chmod -R og+w /usr/local/lib/executor
-
- Or change the owner to the account you want to run Executor under (unless
- you're running it as root in which case you shouldn't be having this
- problem), for example:
-
- chown -R jehamby.users /usr/local/lib/executor
-
- Hope this solves everyone's problem that is having coredumps in E/Linux.
- I know I was mystified myself when it first happened to me...
