HELP - " User configuration file does not exist or is not a regular file,.."

Hello everyone,

I am reaching out after long days and nights trying to figure this out. I have a macbook OSx el captain 10.11.15. I have an Arduino Uno R3. I have had this working before but recently wiped my disk. Unfortunately I cannot get passed this error

System wide configuration file is "/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf"
User configuration file is "/Users/cillian/.avrduderc"
User configuration file does not exist or is not a regular file, skipping

I have tried updating FTDI drivers, uninstalling Mac drivers, this solved and SKT500 issue but not this one..
I have tried to re-flash the ATMEGA328 but again I get an error when it is trying to load usb.h .

I have copied a file called avrdude.conf renamed it as avrdudrc and put it in /Users/cillian/.avrduderc" but this does not work.. I have no idea what the avrduderc file is or where to download it. It does not appear in my disk anywhere.

Can anyone help with this? I appreciate your patience and time in advance. From one developer to another the frustration gets to a point..

Cheers lads,

C

Have you tried reinstalling the IDE and what version is it ?

Hello Mate!

Thanks for the reply, yes I have uninstalled it a reinstalled it 6-7 times. I even reinstalled OSX el captain and completely wiped my disk, everything..

I am not an expert and really only a novice level, I just cannot understand nor find this file it is looking for..I have even revealed hidden .xxx files on the mac and no sign.

I have tried to reprogram the atmega328 chip with a dfu programmer, but this has caused its own issues.

If I could solve the fundamental issue to do with this .avrduderc file... I think it would get going.

.....

:confused:

Sorry -

My IDE is Arduino 1.6.9
