I have built geany from source and when I start it I get the following error box displayed: ``` Configuration directory could not be created (Permission denied). There could be some problems using Geany without a configuration directory. Start Geany anyway? ```
This is actually of no use in trying to fix the problem since it does not state what it can't create.
I don't want start picking my way through the source code to find out what it may or may not be trying to do. Some abstract comment about "Configuration directory" is pointless. Just state explicitly the full path name of the directory that it can not create and the user may have some chance of fixing the permissions problem.
BTW where is this "Configuration directory" ?
Permissions seem right for this user but since I don't know what it is trying to do I can hardly fix it.
