Hello.
I believe the Mathematica Error Type 199 message indicates that the
front end is unable to access its preferences directory (which in your
case should be ~/.Mathematica.i386_linux3). I'd suggest a couple of
things:
1. Try the standard startup method (this is working in general on
Linux-Athena 5.2):
add math; mathematica
2. Try moving aside your prefs. directory before you start mathematica
(the vendor startup script will then try to create a new one for you,
relying on standard things like your HOME environment variable).
