[GRASSLIST:4003] Grass 5.0pre5 Installation Problem

[Philip S. Wood]

I have recently tried to install Grass 5.0 from source
on a Linux/GNU system (Mandrake 8.0).

The system gets configured, built and installed without any problems.

The resulting system, however, does not work.

When I invoke grass5 it complains about not finding a lock file:
 /usr/local/grass5/etc/lock.
If I create a lock file (touch lock),
it warns me that it can't find grass_intro and then
complains about not finding 
 /usr/local/grass5/etc/set_data

Surely there must be some setup utility that I need to run?
Am I missing something obvious?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
