When I run a game I get this error.

Any ideas how to fix it.

Running on Arch linux.

This is an error output by MAME, not by Negatron, as history.db is a MAME file.
It's just my guess but MAME is surely trying to create it within a folder where it doesn't have the writing rights. Just go to your ui.ini, probably in ~/.mame, and change the entry "historypath" to a different path.
