Cannot connect via Lighttable to clojure

Question

Just started up with clojure and am a really beginner at clojure. I have downloaded leiningen and i am able to compile source code.

However, I am trying to follow a tutorial using lighttable and when i am trying to connect

(ns learningclojure)

followed by cmd-enter

I receive the following error message. Any clue what i shall do? I have tried to give sufficient permission but it still won't work

It appears that LightTable requires your user to have modify rights to it's application folders - this is definitely the case on Windows installations, and I suspect it's the same for linux.

Have you tried it as super (sudo) , just as a test?

If that does not help, try these:

Check this previous similar question: OSX Leiningen permissions error
Try 'lein clean' and 'rm ~/.lein-repl-history' - many a problem can be fixed this way. :)

Good luck :)
