strange problems with uploading, serial port

hy,

i have an arduino script, that worked fine and everything was cool. i was communicating with processing on the serial port down to the arduino.

now, yesterday i got my new macbookpro.
i installed arduino and processing, and yes, i also installed the ftdi driver. when i look in the system checkings, i see, that the arduino is shown as: ft232r.
so, when i start up the arduino software, i got the following error:

Assembler messages:
FATAL: can't create EEPROM.o: Permission denied

so it doesnt work. when i try to send a serial command, it does not show anything.

i tried to upload the blink example for simple testing, but then it gets worse and shows me the following:

Assembler messages:
FATAL: can't create EEPROM.o: Permission denied
Uncaught exception type:class java.io.FileNotFoundException

Sounds like you don't have permission to write to the /Applications/arduino-0010 directory. You might try deleting it and reinstalling.
