Quick hack which got me past the problem: mkdir ~/.endgame We may need to type out a better runner-wrapper, which automagically checks out the existence of the directory and creates it when needed. Another bug that I ran across was that if you run singularity without setting locales, it will barf before even this error.log opening error message. That could probably be fixed in the same wrapper.
0.30 seems to work well
guess it's fixed
