This message pops up when I try to run a test script against an hdl file.

I've seen the suggestion in an earlier post that this is due to a permissions problem and that it was fixed (in Microsoft land) by moving  the TECS directory under c:\Documents.  Alas, I work in a Fedora Linux environment.

The real solution is to get the JRE policy changed to permit write access.  Some poking about reveals that I have
 /usr/java/jre.6.1_26/lib/security on my machine, presumably the appropriate place to implement the change.  But since I can barely spell Java, I think I need some help - else I will need to manually execute repetitive tests for the dozen or more circuit hdl files.

It would seem unlikely that I am the first Linux user to face this problem.  Any helpful hints would be appreciated.
