The message I got differed slightly from the above --- the filename was
~/.calendar
Apparently the tilde is not properly expanding to your home directory, and
so ical looks for a directory named `~', which of course is not there.
My FIX:
explicitly name the calendar file to use:
# ical -calendar ~/.calendar
This fix works because the tilde is expanded by the shell, and NOT by
ical. (Yes, this fix is only a work-a-round.)
