I ran into the same problem myself. There are probably as many
ways of fixing it as there are ways of diddling with permissions on the
Macintosh. One of the simplest is to set up a root account (I mean one
where you can graphically log in) and then run DrScheme from that account.
That way you don't have to change any of the permissions. You can of
course change the permissions from the Info window (all you need to do is
open it on the doc directory in collects/ and give yourself read and
write permission, and apply that to the enclosed items. However for some
reason this doesn't quite work as advertised---it doesn't break anything,
but it may take a few tries. If you want to change the permissions, you
are probably better off doing it from the command line in the usual
manner.
To set up a root account in OS X, use the Netinfo Manager from the
utilities folder. Select Security from the Domain menu, and in the
submenu select Enable Root User. You will be prompted for a password if
there's not already one, and from there it should be quite
straightforward.
