Dave,
Please copy and paste the original, complete error message when you ran "runIDV"
from the command line.
Also, changing the path may be (probably is) a red herring. The permissions may
be
more relevant.
What happens when you keep the path as it was originally, but simply change
permissions.
Best,
Unidata IDV Support
