OK


Here is a problem:


Last login: Wed Jul 20 21:45:31 on console

login(5262,0x7fff755a5960) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fc1fd200980: pointer being freed was not allocated

*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug



[Process completed]



my terminal willnot take an input


Now what?




Follow UP ---


I fixed the terminal error by repairing disk permissions...


Now I can see my users library, and I'm happy again.


Why would Apple choose to hide the Library in Lion?

My Mother's family came to the States from St. Ives - my great grandfather worked in the gasworks there - now the site of the Tate. I visited the Tate - and looked down from a balcony, and I imagined that I could reach out to him as walked below me - about a hundred years ago ...


Thanks for the reply.

My problem starts when appears a duplicate "everyone" group with Custom privileges. I make me as disk owner giving Macintosh_HD deep read-write privileges for my user.

Then i'd got the same problem with my terminal:

"Last login: Wed Jul 20 21:45:31 on console login(5262,0x7fff755a5960)

malloc: *** error for object 0x7fc1fd200980: pointer being freed was not allocated

*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug"



and finaly, i did like you, repair disk permissions. there was a lot of bugs in libraries folders.


Well, at that moment, all works fine. I hope, i can help someone in same problem.
