Re: [Xsb-development] xsb_configuration.xwam not writable

[Luis F. P. de C. <lu...@cs...>]

Hi Kristis,

as far as I know, this file should be created when compiling the
system, and should not require write access after that. Were you
trying to run a system compiled with 'makexsb fast' only? Or, did you
reconfigure the system without recompiling it?
