Hello.

I seem to be getting this error message whenever I have a file present in .moc/config (even if it is empty but using touch.)

Please find all my system information here, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/moc/+bug/874934

Thanks,

Neil

The entry for ~/.moc/config in the FILES section of the MOC manpage:

"As this file can specify commands which invoke other applications MOC,
will refuse to start if it is not owned by either root or the
current user, or if it is writable by anyone other than it's owner."

Does this explain what you are seeing?
