Hello,

I have continuing problems with Grass4.1 installation on my Alpha. I thought
I was able to run a start up file given to me as below 

:
GISBASE=/proj/ice/MODELS/Grass.alpha/axp    
export GISBASE
exec $GISBASE/etc/GIS.sh
 
having changed the path as needed I was able to access the Grass4.1 menu page 
asking for database info. 

Not having any data I used ftp to retrieve spearfish into a separate directory,
so as to use this data to experimentall run grass. But on trying to run my 
Grass start up file again , I get the following error,

 Grass.start
/proj/ice/MODELS/Grass.alpha/axp/etc/lock: /home/northwind/dunnj/.gislock: Read-only file system
Unable to properly access /home/northwind/dunnj/.gislock
Please notify system personel.


I don't understand what .gislock is or why I now have this error as I haven't 
done anything to Grass.start??????

Can anyone please expalain,

Jeremy
