Good Afternoon, 

I'm trying to get grass running on an SGI. I downloaded the binaries, and have
everthing untarred. 

When I try to execute "grass4.1" to start it up I get the following message

grass4.1
UX:sh (GIS.sh): ERROR: /home/shelob/dunnj/Grass4.1/etc: Cannot execute
/home/shelob/dunnj/Grass4.1/etc/lock: /.gislock: Permission denied
Unable to properly access /.gislock
Please notify system personel.

Now I can't find .gislock in the /etc directory, which I presume is the problem,so avoiding having to untar the binaries again, how can I create this file ?

I can't just create this using vi .       

Thanks 


Jeremy
