Description:   Opened: 2008-05-26 11:10 0000
Qtiplot's config files are installed in /urs/local/qtiplot. However, if this
directory is own by root:root and its permissions are drwxr-xr-x, qtiplot can't
create the files qtiplotrc.pyc and qtiUtil.pyc inside it for a regular user at
launch time. I had to manually modify the permissions of /urs/local/qtiplot to
drwxrwxrwx.

Reproducible: Always

I've just committed an improved ebuild to cvs. It installs python files to
/usr/lib/python<version>/site-packages and compiles them. This should fix the
bug. Please check. Please rm -rf ~/.config/ProIndependent before starting
qtiplot for the first time after updating to this new version. If it works,
please, close the bug.

Yes, the bug is gone. Thanks very, very much.
