[GRASSLIST:3891] Grass5.0.0pre4 Installation Problems(cont.)

[Neil.Murphy at axa.ie]

Hi All,

I am still trying to install Grass5.0.0pre4 correctly on Mandrake 8.2

When I try to run grass I get the following as a user or as root

[neil at localhost bin.i686-pc-linux-gnu]$ ./grass5
/home/neil/project/grass5.0.0pre4/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/etc/Init.sh:
/home/neil/project/grass5.0.0pre4/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/etc/lock: No such
file or directory
Unable to properly access /home/neil/.gislock5
Please notify system personel.


I notice a previous mail on the list that suggested
"Try to recompile
gmake5 -i src/general/init/
and check if 'lock' is compiled." So I tried this and got the following

neil at localhost bin.i686-pc-linux-gnu]$ ./gmake5 -i
/home/neil/project/grass5.0.0pre4/src/general/init/
  SRC     = /home/neil/project/grass5.0.0pre4/src
  CMD     = /home/neil/project/grass5.0.0pre4/src/CMD
  UNUSED  = /home/neil/project/grass5.0.0pre4/unused
  HEADER  = head.i686-pc-linux-gnu
  ARCH    = i686-pc-linux-gnu
  GISBASE = /home/neil/project/grass5.0.0pre4/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu
  VERSION = 5.0.0pre4 May 2002

Thanks for any help I can get
