[Qgis-user] Error 14 -- Unable to open ~/.qgis//qgis.db -- QGIS version 1.8.0-Lisboa -- Ubuntu 12.04

[Paul Young]

I get this error: Error 14 -- Unable to open ~/.qgis//qgis.db -- QGIS
version 1.8.0-Lisboa -- Ubuntu 12.04

It was discovered when I tried to define a custom CRS and save it under:
settings/custom CRS in QGIS 1.80.-Lisboa under Ubuntu 12.04 and saving the
custom CRS indicated this error.

I notice that the qgis.db file is located at:
/usr/share/qgis/resources/qgis.db

I created a link but this did not work either. Can I tel QGIS to look for
the qgis database at the above location rather that ~/.qgis//? Looks like
permissions are read and write for all users.

Thanks
