[developers] LKB OSX

[David Inman]

I'm trying to use this on my Mac (I am wanting to get around the issue of
not having aboriginal fonts on my Ubuntu partition), and am getting a
curious error when I load grammars that work in Linux LKB:

The path #P"/Users/David/tmp/Nuuchahnulth20170726224805UTC" does not exist.
Error:

Can't open CDB file /Users/David/tmp/Nuuchahnulth20170726224805UTC: is
directory present and writable?

Reading in lexical entry file lexicon
While evaluating the form starting at line 54, column 0
  of
#P"/Users/David/Documents/School/Research/Nuuchahnulth/grammar/toy/nuk/lkb/script":
While attempting to execute menu command Complete grammar...
Error: lexicon is not open for writing
