[GRASSLIST:768] Re: p.map.new & rast2gif (in GRASSLinks)

To Xueming:

Thank you very much for your advice.  
Your advice is very useful for me.

Dear GRASSUsers

I tried to changed one part of "rast2gif" command.

p.map.new $SCRIPT  2> $TMP_PATH/p.map.check.$$  

And I executed GRASSLinks, then I saw "p.map.check.$$" file.

contents of p.map.check.$$--------

cp: cannot create regular file `/paint.ppm': Permission denied
ERROR: ppm driver: unable to open printer port /paint.ppm
ERROR can't read from ppm driver

-----------------------
I have little idea about meaning of this error messege.

And I have some questions.

1) Where does GRASS want to make `/paint.ppm' file? root directory?

2) Is this problem concern with permission? 
ex) "ppm" file or where GRASSLinks wants to make "paint.ppm" file 

Please give me your advise.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely yours.
