Mac OS X 10.5.4
1.83 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Mini with 1 GB of RAM
Open LDAP directory based user account with NFS home directory
Processing 0148

I'm getting the following error when trying to launch Processing with a LDAP/NFS based user
account:

"Problem getting data folder. Error getting the Processing data folder"

Local users accounts have no problems. The same user account has no problems on a Mac
running on a Mac with Mac OS X 10.4.11. Placing a symlink in /Users to the account's NFS
home directory did not help.

That appears to be an Apple bug... You can file a bug with them at
bugreporter.apple.com. Basically this line of code doesn't seem to work
with an NFS mounted home directory:

import com.apple.eio.FileManager;

static final short kUserDomain = -32763;
static final int kDomainLibraryFolderType =
('d' << 24) | ('l' << 16) | ('i' << 8) | 'b';

static public void main(String[] args) {
String folder = FileManager.findFolder(kUserDomain,
kDomainLibraryFolderType);
}
