User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/523.10.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.4 Safari/523.10
Build Identifier: Camino 1.5.2

After updating to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopord I get this message when trying to open Camino 1.5.2: An error occurred which prevents Camino from running (could not get profile location). I have reinstalled Camino a number of times to no avail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Double click on the Camino icon
2.Message shows up in a second: An error occurred which prevents Camino from running (could not get profile location).
3.
Actual Results:  
Not possible to open and run Camino.

Expected Results:  
It should have opened.

When I installed the new OS I had Camino 1.0.4 (not sure about the last digit) installed. When I tried to open Camino the message was showed. I downloaded 1.5.2 and installed it. The same message showed again. I deleted all Camino files and downloaded it again. Same thing.

Do you have any sort of non-standard user folder location?  Is there a Camino folder in your user's ~/Library/Application Support/Camino folder?

Presumably there's plenty of free space on your hard disk, too. I found out the hard way recently that bad things can happen if your disk runs out of space while Camino is running.

Are there any symlinks along that path that might be broken? Do you have read and write permissions to the Camino folder?

Last night I could suddenly open Camino and it has been working ever since. I did not change anything anywhere. Thanks all for your help!
