[GRASS-user] gislock: Permission denied

[Martin Wegmann]

Hello, 

since last week I get this error, if I want to start grass61.

as user baliola:

>grass61
>Cleaning up temporary files.....
>ERROR: LOCATION_NAME not set
>Starting GRASS ...
>///.gislock: Permission denied
>ERROR: /usr/local/grass-6.1.cvs/etc/lock:
>baliola is currently running GRASS in selected mapset. Concurrent use not 
>allowed.

>grass61 /data1/grassdb/spearfish57/PERMANENT
>Cleaning up temporary files.....
>Starting GRASS ...
>ERROR: LOCATION_NAME not set
>///.gislock: Permission denied
>ERROR: /usr/local/grass-6.1.cvs/etc/lock:
>baliola is currently running GRASS in selected mapset. Concurrent use not 
>allowed.

I searched the GRASS ML and found a few mails with hints but applied them 
without success:

- Search for .gislock and deleted them
- remove /usr/local/grass... and reinstalled with fresh cvs
- applied chmod on grassdb

I definitely have no .gislock file on my system anymore, but nevertheless I 
receive this promt.


as root I get:

>grass61

login UI with locations only - no mapset are displayed - I can create a new 
mapset, login and work successfully. However trying to access other mapsets 
results in this error:

>grass61 /data1/grassdb/spearfish57/PERMANENT
>GRASS 6.1.cvs (spearfish57):/home/baliola > Error in startup script: ERROR:

sorry, if I missed any relevant mails - thanks in advance for any hint.
