Re: Bug report - writeparas.c: Error opening file

[Csahok Zoltan]

Hi Marcin,

Thanks for reporting this issue.
I assume that you were running TLF from a directory that was not
writeable by your user (e.g. / or /usr/bin).
Could you check if this issue goes away when starting TLF
from a writeable directory? You could test writetability
by executing
  touch .paras
beforhand.

Generally, I suggest using the latest TLF from github as for example
this code for writing the .paras file has been dropped 1.5 years ago
in January 2021.
If you have any problems compiling from code, let us know.


73,
Zoli
