How can I eliminate “WARNING: Could not create system preferences directory” when I start the RootCause GUI?
If you’re seeing something like: Starting RootCause… eddea02:/home/essc2/josephw/devenv/cstnd/src ==>Jan 25, 2005 8:26:39 PM java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$2 run INFO: Created user preferences directory. Jan 25, 2005 8:26:41 PM java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$3 run WARNING: Could not create system preferences directory. System preferences are unusable. First, bear in mind is that the warning can be safely ignored. Sun’s workaround is to run as ‘root’ with any Java application once. (There’s also a way to eliminate this entirely, but it requires Java 1.4 and for compatibility reasons, the RootCause GUI is built with Java 1.2.2.
