Hi,

sorry for this problem! Please try the following:

   Create locks-directory (the directory must have the name 
   of your machine). If you don't know it name, type:

        uname -n

   The first word is the machine's name. Example:
     hgeo02.geog.uni-hannover.de  -> hgeo02

   Proceed with:
 
      cd locks
      mkdir "machine_name"     (the machine must have a name, not "localhost")
      cd ..
      chmod -R 1777 locks

   Example:

      cd locks
      mkdir hgeo02
      cd ..
      chmod -R 1777 locks


Note, that the command order was changed in opposite to the
installation manual. If this helps or not, please let me know. 
We will find a solution!

With regards
