///

looks like missing enviro vars,

$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/.gislock

if all three are unset that will condense to

///.gislock


Thus it is trying to write to 
/.gislock

but you are not root, so you can't write there. (do not try as root)


Find out why "ERROR: LOCATION_NAME not set".

e.g. try moving away ~/.grassrc6
