This is normal behaviour. This "bases" directory is - sort of - the 
standard path to all your databases. Once scid is running, you can set 
it through one of the options.
Having said that: This is alert not exactly user friendly and personally 
I do not use the standard path at all. Hence I feel there is no reason 
whatsoever for this pop-up.

At least, the smaller window dialogue should disappear. Does it?

This sort of confusion may be the result of some of our wiser friends to 
no longer show scid's start-up banner by default.
Starting scid may actually take quite some time. Are you sure that you 
do not kill the process while scid is still booting up (observe memory 
consumption or something like that in a process monitor)?

Did you have an older version of scid on your system? If so, you may 
want to try to set your existing ~/.scid folder aside. We have not been 
very strict in keeping that stuff interoperable, although I have not 
seen real crashes myself.

Can you start scid from a command line, and check if some information is 
dumped there?

Apart from that: sorry, no Mc experience here.

Cheers,
Joost.
