Hi!!
I have set the Enviroment Variable by eval 'g.gisenv'

when i make echo $LOCATION_NAME it gives Map1
                     echo $MAPSET GIVES kunal
                     echo $GISDBASE =/usr/local/grassdata
i have following queries

1.
 i have copied the r.example dir into the /usr/local/grass-6.2.3/raster/ and
add the r.example in the Make file present in this directory...when i make
the directory it still giving the message
ERROR: MAPSET PERMANENT - permission denied
why is it so when i am using kunal as a mapset.

2.
i want to see the output of r.example which i added ..
i will run  make install after make..my grass is also running ..where to go
to check the output.

Please suggest the way to handle the two problems.
Thank
